set some ground rules like if he breaks it, he fixes it, Or that he is responsible for his own gas when out driving. Or when he is EXPECTED to have the vehicle home, barring any normal delays.
Oh, and most importantly, drill it into his head that NO drinking, NO texting, and NO fooling around behind the wheel or ALL priviledges will be revoked!
Most kids/teens haven't realized that they can't live forever, and some unfortunate ones learn the hard PERMANENT way.
Good luck, we're all behind you!
