Would You Allow Your 15-Year-Old Daughter to Borrow Your Bugatti Chiron for Her High School Prom?
The Question and Initial Responses
Is this a serious question? First, she's too young to drive. Is she covered by insurance should she get in an accident? Can you guarantee she won't drink at all? It's too risky and a foolish display. Is she really that insecure?
An Alternative Solution
No, but I would be happy to have my helicopter pick her up and drop her off at the prom along with her date. Seriously, with the accidents I have seen after proms and graduation parties, I would not let any kid drive to or from one. Rent a limo to the prom and drop 'em off and pick 'em up for any parties, including 'after prom.'
Legal and Safety Concerns
No. At 15, your daughter is too young. In my country, you cannot get a driver's license until you are 18 years old, and you cannot imbibe any alcohol whilst in charge of a vehicle until you reach 21 years of age. Instead, why don't you offer to drive your daughter and her friends to the prom and back in the Bugatti Chiron when it's over?
The Risks and Consequences
Would you allow an unlicensed teenager to borrow a multi-million dollar supercar capable of reaching speeds that would allow it to take off and fly in the air if it had wings? Sure, why not. What could possibly go wrong in that scenario?
Legal Restrictions and Personal Responsibility
Of course. This is why you have a car like that. Share it and make it fun. I like my family to drive my Ferrari, but mostly they don’t want to.
No. You would be better off paying for a limo to take her and bring her home. If she just got her license, she doesn't know how it handles, nor the horsepower it has, and could wrap around a tree and kill herself, especially if she has friends in the car and goes to show off as teenagers do.
Legal Requirements and Liability
Consider that it is not legal for a 15-year-old to drive in the US without a licensed adult sitting in the front passenger seat. I would have to say absolutely not. The liability would be staggering.
Conclusion and Recommendation
I suppose it depends on who is driving because obviously, she isn't at 15. I'm curious about a 15-year-old attending prom to begin with. Those are usually junior or senior proms. Regardless, likely, I would not. Rent them a limo and let them be safely chauffeured.
The ultimate solution is to ensure that safety and legality are the top priorities. Promoting limos or other transportation options can help prevent accidents and ensure that teenagers have a fun and safe night.
