Teens need preparation for life, driving at 16 is a perfect example of this. Let natural selection take its course you pussies.

Think about it from a 16 year olds point of view (im not 16 but this is what they think). If im 16 im probably sick of life at home and getting anxious to get out on my own, is it better to give me a car and the ability to drive 2 years before im out on my own or at the same time? I think the preparation we receive from ages 15 and 7 months until we move out is very valuable and it includes driving, getting your first job, probably first real relationship etc....

It's up to the parents to make sure their kids are good drivers by teaching them how to do it. Don't expect the damn drivers ed teacher to do it, do it yourself you lazy mofo's, because the only sure way to know something is to be there and experience it for yourself. So stop being so fucking lazy and quit blaming others for your kids problems, take matters into your own damn hands. You can win against your child. Tell them no, when you need to, tell them yes when you need to. But stick to your shit and dont let your stupid kids boss you around (unless they are intelligent enough to rebuttal you and have an intelligent conversation with). Treat them according to how they act.
