No cell phones in the car w/o stopping first is a really good rule - natural tendency of teens to become engrossed in the conversation of the moment and disregard the rapidly moving and heavy machine under their control. This whole driving thing and the concerns that go along with really never go away with the kids. Just watch as best you can and reinforce the rules w/o becoming completely overbearing if possible -I'm sure the driver already understands just how important he/she is to you. I've said lots of silent prayers as I watched the taillights go up the street.
