I agree with Dread. But I have used another solution to the problem. I used the ignorance and naivete factor of most teens. For my sons, I have taken their car for one day and told them I was taking it to the mechanic and had a monitoring device installed that relays information back to my computer which tells me where they are, how fast they have driven, if they are wearing seat belts and also the additional weight in the vehicle and trunk via sensors to determine if they have additional passengers or maybe the weight in the trunk is alcohol. They didn't believe I really had this done, but I had my mechanic make up some phony invoices and then I followed it up with a few observations I made up that they must have done as I was not challenged. It's amazing what they will believe sometimes.
