Alrighty, good on ya. Now the issue I have is that SOME people don't let their kids touch a steering wheel till they are in driver's ed. Definitely think that parents should try their hardest to get their kids behind some sort of steering wheel from a fairly early age.

Anyway, this whole thing really boils down to the parent's choice. Like I said, as long as the kids aren't GIVEN a vehicle outright, as long as their made to understand that they have to work for that privilege, that's the important part. That plus safety of course.
