Good morning, Dave.  At this point, we are not aware of any of our consumers letting their teenage children drive their cars.  We ask a variety of questions about their current transportation situation and try to make sure that the car is going to be used by the parent.  However, I think this type of thing may be difficult to prevent since once they have the car, they can allow anyone they want to drive it.
 
I would like to hear any ideas that other loan coordinators may have.
 
Thanks.

Subject: [WTW] Teenage Driver Question

HI all:
 
Has anyone had any problems with a WtW borrower letting their teenage son or daughter drive their car?
 
Or, more to the point, what about the parent that lies so they can get a WtW loan to buy a car for their teenager (when the parent already has a car)?    
 
Is this preventable?
 
Should we require borrowers to sign an agreement that their teenagers can't drive the car?
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks,
 
Dave Dougherty
