However, I don't see the need to not allow teens that have proven they can be responsible to drive a car.  Since the inception of the car (make that post WWII) cars are a part of the high school experience and working for them taught us all who had to buy our own cars and maintain them the valve of money and savings.  It is true that more familys with higher incomes, ( I live in N. California) give their kids cars that are too powerful and are too expensive.  This is the parents fault of course so I do agree with the comment made above.  But the fact is that its not practical to punish the masses for the stupidity of the few that go to far to spoil their children.  Believe me when I say that what comes around, goes around and the foolish parents who do not watch their spoiled children on cell phones or speeding with have serious lawsuits when these kids hit or kill someone in a car.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TPSD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 28th 2008 2:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CellCoach Annoys Teenage Drivers Until They Get Off the Phone]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/14/cellcoach-annoys-teenage-drivers-until-they-get-off-the-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/14/cellcoach-annoys-teenage-drivers-until-they-get-off-the-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't agree with the first comment. I think kids do need cars so they can learn responsibilities and they need to put forth the serious effort it takes to maintain and fuel them.<br>"Keep your kids close and safe - they'll grow up soon enough, then they can do what they want. 18 is NOT grown up!"-HUNT<br>I really don't agree with this, by the time i was 18 i was working two jobs had my own car and was going to school full time as well, i worked as an LNA at a nursing home after high school, and by the time i was 19 i was working as a school nurse and still going to school to get my EMT at night. Now at the age of 20 I am an EMT a rescue technician for a fire dept and going to school full time again. 18 is grown up for most young people now. Kids learn by doing and making mistakes they do them now so they don't have to later on when it really counts. I don't agree with texting while driving AT ALL! i do however agree with experiencing things for yourself! Let them make choices but educate them on the good and bad!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nhEMT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2010 11:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CellCoach Annoys Teenage Drivers Until They Get Off the Phone]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/14/cellcoach-annoys-teenage-drivers-until-they-get-off-the-phone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/14/cellcoach-annoys-teenage-drivers-until-they-get-off-the-phone/</guid><description><![CDATA[So why are you giving cars to teens anyway? I think most parents do it b/c it's convenient for THEM - so they don't have to arrange transport or be the carpool. Wise up people - teens don't need cars! They especially don't need phones and cars. Let em walk or let em stay home and clean the house! Give them responsibility that leads to freedom, not freedom that leads to irresponsibility! My kid won't drive or ride with another teen til she's 18. If she wants to date then he'll date her at my house only! Sure she can go places supervised by adults, but not without. Wise up people and remember what you did everytime the adults were gone. Keep your kids close and safe - they'll grow up soon enough, then they can do what they want. 18 is NOT grown up! Put forth the energy it takes to RAISE and guide and supervise your children. I know we're all busy, but get other adults in on this and we can all help each other. Just think about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hunt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2007 8:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
