I am not being dramatic and I absolutely know a few parents that have allowed their teens to be either the driver of a car FULL, meaning every available seat is taken, of teens or a passenger in such a car. Just because you wouldn't allow it does not mean others share the same view. The reason I checked in here is to see how others feel about it because I was told to land my helicopter.

Yes. I wouldn’t allow it. Distraction and the more teens there are in the car the worse it gets.

What? NO. I'm in California and here, teens are not allowed to drive anyone else, *unless* there is a licensed 25 y.o. in the car with them. It's to prevent the teen group driving scenario, specifically because it is so dangerous.

Has the driver aged out of the graduated license requirements?

Well, it depends. My son drives and his friends drive. He has several friends that I know and trust and he is allowed to drive with them.

But they all have rules - tonight no kids were allowed to drive due to the snow. If it was a kid I didn't know or that didn't have reasonable rules, I would say no.
