My house rules on cars for kids was: [all responsible adults now] : "If you are old enough and mature enough to drive, you are old enough and mature enough to earn enough money to buy and support your own car, including insurance and license expenses. " "Part of your training to become a responsible adult and be treated like one, is to take responsibility for your own actions and things. I'm only here to offer guidance about how you can accomplish those personal goals. If you want to have a car to drive, you have to want to support the expenses to keep it legally insured and safe to drive. "
Some call it the "tough love approach", however, my view is, childhood is best defined as "adults in training".
