My 18 year old took out a light pole in a blizzard last year. I didn't yell too much, there wasn't much he could do. That light pole gets taken out several times each winter, I think they ought to move it anyway. He is going to the U now, and lives on campus, so his old car is parked and we took the insurance off it.
My 14 year old is counting the months till she gets her permit next spring. She is the one I am worried about.
I just hope they excersize better judgement than I did. Never had an accident, but there must have been a lot of luck involved.
It just takes time for kids to realize how much attention they have to pay to everything that is going on. Having friends or sibs in the car can be a huge distraction. I think it's a bad idea for the first 6 months or so. Good luck.
