Depends how you look at it. You could make an argument that the ideal is a brand new car with the best crash test scores of anything on the market and state-of-the-art safety features.

Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db37.htm#leadin...

My friend told me the chances of a teenage driver having an accident is close to 100%. Put them in a safe car.

If you let them out unattended with their idiot friends, sure. But that's not exactly 'teaching them how to drive'.

If you are supervising them as they learn to drive, I strongly doubt it.

Put yourself in a safe car while teaching a teenager to drive! :)
