Good point, I guess it really depends on the driver. There seems to be a whole range of possible answers, depending on the “type” of kid we are talking about, you can decide which answer you like:
-
buy him something cheap because he will wreck it anyway
-
buy him something big so he won’t get hurt when he crashes, although the other drivers may not do so well
-
buy him something smaller with a lot of “safety features” so he will be less likely to hurt himself or anyone else
-
make him save his own money and buy his own car so he will be more responsible
-
buy him a nice, but boring newer car so he will take care of it and won’t do anything too dumb
-
buy him something cool so he will take care of it and not want to mess it up by doing something too dumb
