Don’t let your teenagers drive
This week near where I live in Pennsylvania, another teenager was killed when the car he was riding in hit a pole. The teenage driver was not hurt.
Just because these kids can get their driver’s license at 16 does not mean they can drive!
I know because I got my license when I was 16 and smashed my car like four times.
All of the families are ruined in this situation, the family that lost their son and the family of the driver who survived and has to live with this bloody memory hanging over his head the rest of his life.
Parents, don’t let your kids play with the car. Some parents actually buy their teenagers cars just to make them popular or shut them up or whatever. You might as well give them a loaded gun to play with. Maybe these parents don’t care or are just too stupid to know better.
My daughter is not getting her license until she is in her twenties and she is not getting in a car with an incompetent driver as long as I can do something about it. I will drive her whereever she needs to go.
My friend’s car was badly damaged by a teenage driver. The teener even tried to run away. It is traumatic to have such experience. Good thing my friend was safe but her she can’t go anywhere as of the momonet since her car is in the shop.
