I'm assuming based on your comments, you have now spoken to the drivers and know they have no experience in driving to the barossa?
If you bubblewrap your kids to the point they never go out, then they're basically dead anyway (except it is you who killed them, not one of their friends in a car) ;)
Ever since i was 16.5 (the age when we got our P's) my parents were completely fine with me going out driving (as driver and passenger), as they trusted my judgement that i wouldnt get in the car with a moron, and it worked perfectly (yes, there were a few bad eggs who i flatly refused to go in their cars, and sometimes refused to even go on a cruise if they were there)

His sister doesnt know how they drive, she isnt part of their group. My son only knew of her friends driving style because he got a lift home from work with her one night.
When i explained the environment around that area he said he had no idea what to expect, thats why they were heading out there, for a look.
You're missing the point, its not that i think his friends are irresponsible, i just believe that the chances of something going wrong are multiplied by the factors surrounding the proposed plans.
The kid my son would be with only got his licence a few months ago, he couldnt possibly be overly familiar with driving in a convoy of cars on those roads, how often do you need to travel on them in those conditions to be competent, would once or twice in 3 months suffice, maybe 4 or 5 times, i dont know, im not prepared to chance my son on it.
Do you have kids, teenage kids, a boy, who hangs out with boys who does boys things?
Just wondering where you draw your opinion from?
