[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 659920, member: 17720"] So he's a young man who got good grades and did (or honestly tried his best to do) what you asked. If I were Monday morning quarterbacking, I would say I wouldn't have given him the car until he actually had the job, but that's water under the bridge. Is it possible that he thought he was being prudent in not paying for 2 weeks of insurance when the car would just be sitting in the driveway? Even just 2 weeks of insurance for 19-year-old males is crazy expensive. Maybe he is excited about the car and just didn't fully understand the ramifications of not having insurance. But I'm a little confused...you said he came over to the house...you mean driving the Prius? But the Prius is still in the driveway while he's camping? Did he take it from the driveway after you told him not to until he had insurance? If he did, he willfully disobeyed you. You can't go back on what you already told him, but I think there needs to be some consequences for ignoring what you told him. [/QUOTE]
