i never said it wasn't wrong.. just for the record.. i just answered his question to the best of my knowledge (and since my wife was just hit by an unliscensed driver, but who's parents had insurance on the car, i had the most 'knowledge' to offer... especially since it's in the same state) i still would advise against it.. but a liscense, doesn't mean you magicly have some super power and are able to drive... i don't have a liscense, but i drive far better (and more repsonibly) then ANYONE (not near anyone, ANYONE) if things are that bad, and your son is that responsible, it may just be better to give him over the keys.... usually this is not true in any situation, but just because so-and-so doesn't have a liscense, doesn't mean it doesn't ring true.
