It would work for me, but I don't exactly see myself going over 80 on a highway or blasting Beethoven on the Golden Mile (well... that I could see.) But some kids my age just don't HAVE responsiblity, and this may be an easy fix; however, kids still need to be taught things in life. So I guess I'm so-so. I honestly like this idea.

So this seems to be a great solution to irresponsible driving... until I realize that almost all my "responsibility" was learned from mistakes. If we don't have a personal reference that impacts you in a way to take more care, it seems less likely that care will thrive when those training wheels are taken off. I still remember my first accident in college. I wasn't even going 25 mph down a wet main street but incidentally rear-ended a Jeep when he stopped for a pedestrian. I learned the person in front of me doesn't always do what you expect. Instantly I think of my cousin, just turning 16 and getting a car… which normally makes me cringe.
