<p>I agree with Data10. I would not use that I am paying for their tuition as one of my cards to play. More, I would want to discuss the actual logistics. A parking pass at my S’s school is $400 year, $20 for each parking ticket (I’m told students get many) and the auto insurance goes up from being an “away” student back to a driving student plus there is gas and more maintenance.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that the car is a bonus for doing well in school if the parent is the one paying the car expenses. If the student does not do well, then the car comes home provided it is not needed for logistical reasons like driving to an off campus job. </p>
<p>In terms of others driving my son’s car. The answer is No. Unless my son is in the car while it is being driven home for school breaks or some other shared long distance drive. If I am paying the insurance on the car, then I only want to pay for accident’s caused by my own son not their friends. My son is currently on a shared policy with me.</p>
