  • Your Dad is justified in being scared. Here are a few facts (not opinions): - Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers. - 16 year-olds have higher crash rates than drivers of any other age. - 16-year-olds are three times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than the average of all drivers. I'm sure your ex says he was just joking, but I don't necessarily believe him. When I was his age, I would have said the same thing. Your Dad not only has the benefit of many years' more experience than you, but he was a teenage boy himself (which is probably why he's so concerned). Teenage boys do immature things, not because there's something wrong with them, but because it is in their biological wiring to be experimental at that age. Listen to your dad.
