In contrast to my stringent vehicle specs policies, I have a really liberal driver policy as long as I'm in the car. I'll generally let anyone with a valid VA, NC, or SC driver's licence who's demonstrated consistent competence in vehicle parking and control operate the X3. Under appropriate conditions, I don't mind folks exploring the capabilities of the car within reason (no 140km/h backroads in the rain). Drivers are responsible for any moving violations incurred while driving.

Of course, I have to let my parents drive as well, even though all three bumper scuffs were caused by my dad, and neither of them can reliably park an SUV.
