So far, I've kept my distance from getting involved with all the details that now goes along with teen driving. That being said, I think I would consider some kind of device. What scares me the most about where I live are the narrow, winding, wooded roads. Any reminders for my kids when I'm not with them may be a worthwhile investment. However, I'm lucky, Elaine, as you have to navigate this path before me. I'm sure you'll figure out the wisest path, and I'll just be able to follow suit in a few months!

I get a pit in my stomach whenver I open the newspaper and see yet another teen accident resulting in death. While I see my teen as being mature for her age and pretty much a "rule follower" its impossible to know what she will do when given the ability to drive on her own. Admittedly, I am a bit over protective. I see both sides of this issue. But as a Mom who wants her daughters to be both safe and accountable, I think we would install some gadget when that day comes.
