16 year old just drove off in my truck
My 16 year old daughter got her driver’s license yesterday. That in itself is traumatic. My precious truck……at least to me….is now in the hands of my 16 year old DD, at least for today. It wasn’t...

More drivers in the house than cars is the best option.
Not in Mass as they base the new driver's insurance on the most expensive vehicle because s/he will be able to drive it. States vary so it's best to check with your own insurance company.
Might as well recount a few experiences as well. Hubby and I were high school sweethearts. The day he got his license we went to visit a girlfriend of mine. He was driving a 71 Pontiac Grand Safari Wagon, your proverbial boat. When he backed out of her driveway, he scraped the underside of the carriage on a rock beside the drive-no damage, but rattled him so bad he backed up too far and knocked over the neighbor's post and rail fence. We easily fixed it but he was so scared he'd get arrested he drove me home and then went home and hid.
My son had been driving for a few years with a just a few minor incidents at the beginning, so hubby asked him to take his new BMW to the dealer for some small fix. He drove passed the dealer entrance and pulled into a parking lot to turn around. He backed up right into the trailer hitch that he didn't see on the pick-up that was parked in the spot across from where he turned around. Poor kid was so upset he could hardly drive home. Cost $1200 to fix (out of our pocket) but you can bet he looks for that sort of thing now!
