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.

How about your responsibility to ALL kids, not just your own?
