Too bad to hear that. I think restrictions should be put on all drivers with less than a year of driving experience, regardless of age...

These kids are 3 of 22,000 that will die each year.
After that Autoweek article I looked into sponsoring teen driving schools in cooperation with a driving school that already has a program in place.
The biggest obsticle I ran into is liability in this litigious society. Insurance for a site was a huge hassle then the potantial to be sued after a teen takes your driving school and crashes making their actions your fault.
I decided, as a parent, that I can only make sure my own kids are good safe drivers. If you do enougg research there are lots and lots of teen driving schools, some of them are free, some cost minimal amounts and still toehrs are pricey. My kids will go to as many as I can get them into.
This was the discussion on here abou tthe newsweek article.

Vinman- My good friend is a Tramahawk paramedic and gets to see a lot of really disturbing accidents. It really gets to him sometimes. Especially when street racing is involved and passangers are killed. Hang in there, like Livi said it puts life in prespective. Even though its really disturbing and sad.
