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.
