All we have to do is imagine other teens driving our kids around, or our kids driving themselves and their friends around, and plenty of thoughts will come to mind. We want to handle car responsibilities with our teens the way the real world does. Having wheels is a great privilege as well as a great responsibility. Before teens learn to drive, we should explore with them the new dangers they're going to face.
Some parents handle the transportation issue by laying down the law.
Other parents handle it by getting their teens to think about life in the fast lane. So you probably won't die by suicide. If you were to die before you were twenty-one, it would probably be in a car accident. And generally, in these car accidents, there is something else involved. So you fit the profile.
