Well, my 16 year old wasn't lacking good tires yesterday but the common sense part was ignored and the result was predictable. Perhaps the hit on the bank account and no wheels for a while will help cure what ails him...
Harumph!!!

Glad he is OK.

I had a bad experience last night. Didn't want to be out driving with the icy conditions but I have AWD on my brand CR-V and didn't want my GF to drive to and from work in her Mazda sedan. So on my way to pick her up I'm going SLOWLY through an intersection when a sedan blasted through the red light on their side and destroyed the front end of my car. The woman said she slid on the ice, but I saw her coming in fast as I was trying to veer away. Thank God no one was hurt, no pedestrians in the road. Thank God no one was in my driver seat. I was friggin' livid. The woman was clearly driving fast in the snow. Thank God I have full coverage

that's just in experience... at 16 he ( or she) hasn't seen enough of this to become experienced.. that's not a crime...at 16 they haven't developed common sense... I'm sure you'll giude him through ( even if it takes tough love)...
