not all teens are the same..i was a teen when i got my stang...it was my first car...my mom didnt want me to get it but my dad let me...sure iv got pulled over a few times for speeding and once for spining my tires but other then that i keep it safe and use my head...

my mom said when i first got it that id either be in trouble all the time with it or id wreck it..and i proved not to either of those things...all though that car has greatly improved my driving skill...you dont drive a rear wheel drive V8 modifyed sports car the same as a normal car in wet weather...on a highway during heavy rain with flooded over parts of road...or spring time flurrys...found out the hard way on a few occasions...wet weather...whiping a fishy and not knowing what i was doing..ended up over the curb in someones front yard..had to drive down the side walk to get out spring time flurry..."oh ..winter is over" going up a hill doing 55...snowing lightly but not sticking...but wait what about a bridge...yup..you guessed it...hit the bridge...back tire starts spinning...posi kicks in...start going sideways...other side hit nonicey road...whip it sideways a few more times slide sideways half in ditch then back on to road...get home...check car...no damage just some grass and rocks in tire/rim..go inside and clean out my pants

point is...do i think you should take his license away...NO..why...you dont get better at something by not doing it...he needs to drive to get experience...all these young kids say "o i can drive good im a good driver" no your not...you have to experience things to learn...you tell your kid.."hey..even if its snowing and its melting right away bridges and underpasses can be slippery" dont matter..a 16 year old kid is going to be like..yea whatever...im 16 and i know it all.....

punishment wise..id give him his licence back..so he can drive to go to a freinds house or to get something from the store or whatever...not the stang that is...and id let him drive that again..not soon...cause if he ever gets his own he will have to learn how to handle something like that eventually anyway..so id say....3 months no stang driving...

i just think its dumb to take a kids license away..iv had freinds with parents that did that..but worse..like any little thing they did wrong they would take there license...lets think about this...how do you learn how to drive...you take behind the wheel course in school..and what do you do in that course...you "drive"...when you preparing to get your license what do you do....you "drive"

The End
