If it's due to the car not being safe, yes, it is. The driver is always responsible for the safety of the vehicle. Whether you're 18 or 81.

Then don't give them a car. It's a major distraction. I know, I was young once, and unlike many parents, I remember.

Absolutely. Bus passes and driving them when need be.
If they want to play adult and drive, they need to take on all the responsibilities of being a driver. If they're too young for that, they shouldn't drive.

Well, for one thing, they vote for public education, so kids don't have to pay for schools, no matter who their parents are.
