Great discussion.
My two that are of driving age both had the following offer. After getting
their license I provided a car ('94 Jaguar with lots of miles. Big enough to
be safe, rear-wheel drive, as God intended, to learn how to control on snow
and ice covered Minnesota roads, interesting enough to be cool in the High
school parking lot, and only $3,500!) paid insurance and maintained it. "A"
honor role, no tickets, no accidents to keep the deal. I'll allow 1 ticket if
it's minor, but beyond that, no "A"s, any accidents, and they pay their own
insurance and maintenance. 2 tickets etc, they lose the car. We also did a
lot of skid pad work in our local school parking lot after enough snow to
make it fun. Both these two went to the VSCDA driver's school the year they
turned 18, and have their vintage racing licenses. They are accident free,
both
Dean's list in college, and safe racers. It has worked for us! Growing-up
in a racing family has helped a great deal in the safe attitude toward
driving department. I'm very proud of them.

Amici,
My daughter just received her driving permit. I've taken her out driving
many times before she received her permit. I'm thinking about sending her to
driving school for car control, confidence behind the wheel, not for a racing
license, yet. What have you done or what are you thinking about doing when
your kid gets to this point?
Thanks!
Look out Northern New Jersey Drivers!
