I went throught this a few years ago with both my sons. Withn their first year they had both been in accidents that totaled their cars, luckily neither were hurt. Although not their "fault", it shows that new drivers just don't drive defensively.
Those calls at 11 pm on a Friday night just make you jump.
Now all is good, they have survived, and I even let them take the pcar for a spin on special occassions.

take him down to St. Pete - Sarasota area with all the blue hair drivers and that will be a great training ground! Let him drive you over the Sky Way Bridge! Wear some PAMPERS

Thanks all. I guess that I will live through it.
Dan, I would love to have that agreement. Sounds like something I should have signed when I was his age.

Each of my 2 kids (sons) signed it when they got their driver's license as a condition of driving our cars. It reflects the importance w/which my wife & I viewed their driving responsibilities & our obligations to keep everyone safe. They're now 22 & 23 & neither has ever had an accident, although there were a few "fast driving" awards for which they did some community service (their dad's idea). Both kids have said in retrospect the agreement was a great idea ... and that it worked, especially as it relates to drinking & driving..

If you can, would you mind just posting it here in this thread? I'd love to have a copy.
