[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622570, member: 1550"] I have a different perspective on this. We took my daughter's driving privledges away after she totaled our car while high (did drugs maybe contribute to this ticket?). I'm glad we did it because she continued driving (I give her this...she had a job and did pay her own insurance because we wouldn't and she was under 18), but she cracked up two more cars. They were not OUR cars...they belonged to "friends" of hers who were foolish enough to let her drive, although they were just as wasted as she was. One of her crashes was very serious and she owed some lady $14,000 years after she quit using drugs for an injury. Her dad paid it for her because by then she was living a good life and she was getting nowhere trying to pay it off. But while shej was still using, even while underage, she got zilch from us and had been on parole twice. If your son is getting high and drinking, he really shouldn't be on the road with any car, let alone one in your name. You will be held liable. My daughter got clean, and during her getting clean time she was in a strange place, had no transportation, and had to walk back and forth to her minimum wage job. She was very lonely because she couldn't party, but it really helped her think about her future. I'm not saying your son would make the same choice and he probably has plenty of friends willing to drive him around (for a while), but I personally would not be so quick to want him back on the road for ANY reason. My daughter is lucky she didn't kill herself or somebody else while driving under the influence of whatever. Yes, he will whine and say "but...then I can't work" but he can walk, take public transportation, car pool, etc." if he REALLY wants to work and it's not a priority that he can quickly access his drug-infested friends.
