No argument from me on anything stated EXCEPT .... it is my understanding that the License holder is responsible regardless of age -- if my 52 year old son-in-law is driving under my "Cert" (by virtue of me being aboard and letting him) -- it is clearly & unambiguously MY liability/ Responsibility -- no different from my 13 year old grand daughter ..... I have never understood there to be a "gray" area when it come to that

Perhaps I am wrong
