Various of ds's friends now drive and some have cars. Ds is 17.
What's your policy on your teenagers in cars driven by their mates? And does your school have a policy?
One local school (fee paying, boarding) doesn't allow pupils to drive other pupils, even with parental permission, as it considers itself in loco parentis and they feel the risk of accidents is too high. Teenage drivers have to hand their keys in as they arrive at school (day pupils).
I don't like the idea of my ds being driven by another teenager tbh and we've discussed it briefly. He thinks IABU to even think about it.
I think the insurance premiums are high for a reason and easily distracted teen boys aint the most sensible drivers. The sister of one of ds's friends was killed in a car accident last year. She was alone but was distracted and crashed.
What do you think and what do you do?
