You right be concerned with the world of idiots today , Ask for a drivers license or tell them you'll be doing the driving , If you deny one idiot you may have some legal back lash

Meet at your local police station or other area with cameras. Many places now have designated meeting areas for this type of thing. Ask to see their driver's license. Go with them. If you're not comfortable going with them by yourself bring a family member or friend along for the ride. Limit the test drve to 30 minutes. That's enough time for them to get the feel of the vehicle, listen to it, try out all the features, and ask any questions. End the test drive where you began, at the meeting area. Talk to the people for a few minutes before you begin the test drive. "Feel them out" as they say. If something doesn't seem right or feel right, back out. I've never had a bad experience, but we've all heard the stories and you can't be too careful! Good luck with your sale! Jim
