You probably (I hope) don't let your grandkids play with matches, or dynamite, or an assault rifle, so why let them "play" with something just as dangerous. And consider how you would feel, and what the ongoing family dynamics would be like if you got the kid killed by letting him/her drive. Be smart, and remember YOU are the adult. End of rant.

I am not a grandparent (until November). But sometimes I wonder if having children visit and being with them nonstop--fighting with each other, getting up early, cartoons blasting on the tv, eating issues, cranky past bedtimes--breaks through the otherwise common sense of the grandparents to the point of their saying, "Here... TAKE THE CART FOR A RIDE!!!"
