It&#x27;s totally true, we totally expect young drivers to wreck a car early in their driving careers, and they often do, and we&#x27;re totally fine with it, it&#x27;s part of the course.<p>That mindset strikes me as completely insane to be honest (btw, I damaged my parent&#x27;s car as well in my first year of driving).<p>Why not something like that you have to start driving for a few years with a small car (like a kei-car of some sorts), and then you can graduate to a compact. And then after six years or so, you can drive something heavy and&#x2F;or fast. I would be so much more at ease in traffic, knowing that those deathtrap crossovers, trucks, and SUVs around me aren&#x27;t piloted by a texting teenager.
