I have to admit, I have done some really stupid things in my cars, but I always respected other people's. I'm 26 years old, and got my G1 when I was
- My grandparents never hesitated to let me use there cars, nor did my parents or anyone else, after I proved to them that I could be trusted with them. Trust has to be earned, IMHO. If someone show's they can handle the responsibility of driving a car, then that's fine. If not, they better save up there own money. My own daughter, for example, is still a few years away from 16. However, when she turns 16, I will see what she is like, and decide if she will be driving my car. If she can prove to me that she is capable, then she will have free will with the car. If she blows it, it's all over. As for the driving age, I can say that I drove a couple of times with my father before I was 16. I can also say that in Ontario, they have been trying (off and on at least) to bring the driving age up to 17 or 18 for years. Would that help? I don't really think so. Like I said, some people are in there adult years and still drive like morons. It's like all other aspects of life. There isn't always a win-win situation. Sometimes, you just have to decide on your own.
