Teens today I think are not given enough opportunity to learn responsibility and consequences of their actions from a young age. Long before I first drove a car I had the fear of god in me for my life if I did something stupid.
Learning to focus is a life skill that they, and we, need. When was the last time you saw a kid just sitting somewhere day dreaming peacefully?
Technical driving skills are a important sure, but I agree with the maturity comments above most of all.
I wonder though. Growing up I had to wait til nobody else was using the family car, and then I was never free enough to be out at night driving it with friends. We just didn't have enough cars in the family for this.
In a few ways this recession is gonna do us all some good.
