Teenagers are rarely excellent drivers. Some kids have been driving with their parents out in the country since they were ten and have years of behind-the-wheel experience before they turn 16, but that’s the exception to the rule. There’s a reason why insurance premiums are much more expensive for 16-year-old boys compared to 25-year-old men. It’s no wonder my parents didn’t want to buy me a car when I was a teenager…could you think of a more high-risk financial investment? 

Teen drivers are known to get into little accidents often. I tried to use industrial glue to glue my right door mirror back on my vehicle after I hit it with a tree on a particularly narrow road. Most kids will hit a mailbox or two during their driving years, but most probably won’t total a stationary vehicle in a parking lot and drive away. Unfortunately, the teens in this story are not «most kids.»
