I dont know, kids today are spoilt.....I never got given a car and had to fund my driving lessons myself!

Interestingly, I was looking at some stats and you are many times more likely to smash the car when young if you didn't pay for it yourself.

My folks paid for my first few lessons (5 or 6 iirc) as 18th birthday pressie.  I then left home (they moved to East Anglia, I stayed in Aylesbury), so I striggled to pay for remaining lessons, let alone buy a car, hence didn't get a car until I was 20.  I nice Triumph Acclaim - decent engine, woeful handling.  I loved that car (first car and all that).


In view of M_DTM's second comment - I have had several accidents (many my fault) in works vans, but never an own fault in any car I've owned...
