You're going to nap while a 16 year old student driver is at the helm? :W
Yeah!
He's a decent driver already. But our kids have been driving "things" since they were old enough to grab a handful of throttle. Both have been driving their own Sno machines, in the mountains, since they were 7-8, wheelers on the trail or dragging a mower around the yard around trees, pulling me behind the boat (this year), moonlighting in the vehicles on backroads. Both can drive a stick shift already.
This is not to say I just turn them loose, they are closely supervised, but by the time they go for their drivers test they'll be able to parallel park a long bed truck downtown and back a trailer up. I believe in building their skills as soon as they have the capability, so i know they will have the skill and presence of mind once they get cut loose with a drivers license and all the teenage distractions.
