LOL,, I think as parents we all tend to think that way but in all honesty if the kids are brought up right and have a head on their shoulders there really isn't too much concern. I'm more worried about the other drivers on the road, not my son and his driving. We really don't care for all the driving aids either, or air bags for that matter.
When I look back, I was 16 and started my daily driving in a 56 Nomad with manual steering, manual drum brakes, no seat belts, a fairly potent high strung 327 that would run with anything on the street at that time. I'm still here. I may have been 16 but I was sensible. I knew my limitations, and more importantly, the cars limitations. Drove that thing for years, then bought a couple of novas to daily drive, and the whole time I also had a SS 454 chevelle in the garage I would enjoy on the weekends.
By most peoples accounts, the way they worry today, I should have been dead a long time ago
