As someone who has raised two boys with sports cars around all the time and
they are now in their 20's with no accidents and only one speeding ticket
each and those tickets, (while justified as they were speeding) there were
extenuating circumstances. One we were late for computer job and I told him
to speed...and the other was a 37 in a 15mph running zone at 2 in the
morning. Completely dark out, no runners, and cop was sitting there with the
lights off just waiting for young kids to come out of school parties.
Looking more for drinkers than speeders, but caught is caught.
The best things I did were the following:
The attended the Drivers Edge Event when it was held near here.

I told them no matter if they had one drink or 10, they call me and I come
and get them no matter where they are and no matter what time. No questions.
And I also let me drive my Lotus Elise anytime they want. And when I had my
M100's, they could drive those. I have always felt that if you give young
adults adult responsibilities they will act like adults.
They also drove with me on many Lotus LOONY breakfast runs...driving right
behind me. Learn by following.

Subject: [Shop-talk] What cars can and can't do
This is vaguely related to the Toyota discussion. If I had any kids,
they would
not be allowed out on the street until they had maybe half a dozen,
preferably
more, autocross events. Safe drivers know what their cars can and can
not do,
they don't just close their eyes, slam on the brakes and scream.
