Yeah, I guess most are sensitive about whom you let drive your car because you don't know that particular persons driving ability.
Especially with mods - to really get the feel it would mostly be driving at pace.
Plus the insurance factor, some companies don't cover certain age drivers.
I've been on some cruises and you can see how they drive and have to say NOWAY for some of them to get behind the wheel. (stationary yes, moving noo...)
In reality, I personally would not ask someone to test their car, if they offer then maybe I'll think about it, but even then I would mostly like not unless I was also very comfortable with the idea. And if I did most likely would take it relatively easy , unless they ask me to really push it.
I've only let a select few drive mine and other mates no way....doesn't matter how close they are.
Its whatever the owner is comfortable with. Everyone is different, Some just throw you the keys and don't give a shit , others different....
And although some guys don't let others drive, it great to have passenger experience, sure its not the same but it gives a rough feeling of what their car can do.
