<p>I would be more worried about an accident because of falling asleep behind the wheel, safety of the car, distracting chatter, and inexperience in driving, especially long distances. My son has taken rides home from, and I understand the convenience, but I don’t feel entirely comfortable about it. I only worry about the possibility of an accident. The only comfort I have is knowing that the person rides with is a responsible student, that my son always wears a seat belt, and that they do get gas before they are on empty. My son offers to share gas costs.</p>
