But yes it might help to educate them at home. Do a driver training course as father and son. Take a car to the track / skid pan, and get it out of the system etc etc.
I was about to say "yeah ,you're right, it's the mates problem", but the real truth is it's also the mates mates problem. Take the keys off him, knock him and his prospective passengers out, call the cops, I don't know, just do what you need to do to not let this happen.
I had 100+ kids at my daughters post grad high school party in my back yard a couple of years ago and all those who drove were not allowed in till I had the keys locked away to be picked up when they came to pick up the cars the next day.
(cops came 2 or 3 times for loud noise and music at 3 or 4am, but no-one left with 5 passengers, pi$$ed, and ended up in the horror these kids did
Ps.. That doesn't make me a martyr, it just means there are things we can do as parents to alleviate this madness.
