Agreed, but I think new young drivers need a conversation about the characteristics in a jeep (especially 2doors) that make it different than cars. I've unfortunately seen a lot of teenagers roll their jeeps on roads and highways because they drive it like its a Honda civic
Obviously the OPs daughter was born with jeep-genetics

First thing I told her was that it does not handle like a car and she needs to take turns much slower. It does not zip around like her old little 2 door focus. Of course today she flips a u-turn and some stupid lady was speeding around a close corner and instead of hitting the brakes the lady swerved into oncoming traffic lane to get around my daughter and clipped the front plastic corner piece on the jeep. Scrunched the plastic and bent back part of the metal bumper. Which in turn tore the lip off the other lady's alloy wheel. And put black plastic marks on her fender trim.

It was the front bumper we took off the plastic ends today. Somebody else had put some goofy factory mirror replacement brackets on it and they shook like crazy and made the side mirrors useless couldn't see crap. Replaced them with the rugged ridge quick disconnect ones tonight and its 1000 percent better. She just has to get used to the smaller round mirrors now. But at least she can see.
The other lady was a dumb ass and should have stopped instead of swerving into oncoming traffic lane. She's lucky the jeep wasn't lifted otherwise it would have torn her 1/4 panel open like a can opener.
Edit. Her jeep does have a hitch on it maybe I should throw my ball mount on it.
