Responsbility has nothing to do with driving.
In my case...
When 16. I had pretty good grades in high school, volunteered at a local hospital 2 days out of the week, and participated and lettered in 3 sports.
I drove like a madman. On highways, I probably averaged over 80 MPH in a 55 zone. Within 3 months I was at fault in an accident- not the result of speeding. I've also been lucky in regards to a speeding ticket. I was stopped going 90 in a 45 MPH. Turns out the cop was my neighbor, and he left with me with a verbal warning.
My parents had only one rule, which was if I was at fault in an accident, I would lose my driving privileges for a few months. Whenever I have kids, I'm definately going to make the rules more strict than what my parents set.
No matter what you say to your son, he will speed if he wants to. You need strict rules that will force him to consider the consequences of his actions.
All this glum talk. Give him the Saab with lots of rules. When I was 17, I drove my first Saab and it was great experience.
