Should I take back the car I gave to my 19yo son?

[QUOTE="Lee_S, post: 659928, member: 19234"] I do believe he thought he was being prudent in not paying for 2 weeks of insurance... and I'm sure it's expensive, but I don't think he realizes the gamble he took... even if he had to pay $200 for 2 weeks, it's better than the risk of getting pulled over and being cited for no insurance (in Washington, the fine is $550), or getting in an accident and losing up to $100k that he doesn't have. I gave him the car last week, trusting that he already had it insured (I had talked to him about this about a week earlier, and he said he'd do it). We knew he was planning this 2-week trip (in Michigan, so he would be flying there) Last night he came to our house and parked the Prius in our driveway, and I took him to the airport. (Sorry about the confusion). and yes, he did willfully disobey me, by telling me he'd get insurance and not doing so. and yes, I agree there needs to be some consequences for ignoring what I told him. so now I'm trying to decide what the consequences will be, and I'm planning to call or send him a text message to let him know, so he won't be blindsided when he comes back. Thanks "Albatross" for your input. [/QUOTE]
