About Driving

Quote From: khsinfla

The son who was caught driving in excess of 100 miles per hour should be forced to speak to the teenager in Mt. Dora, FL who was drag racing with a friend.  His mother and her friend were out driving looking at Christmas lights and the son, who was drag racing, hit his mother's car and killed not only his mother but her friend as well.  Imagine how he feels having killed his own mother.  Imagine the feeling that, deep inside, his father must hate a part of him for killing his wife.  While it does not often happen that you kill your own family with your speeding car, it does happen.

  

 I dont agreed all parents are crazy about the driving situtions some parents can be firmed some can be fears of thier teens can be threats to harm if not let. 

Its shamed for what s been happening to this people and ruined being killed. They are asking for it. OK. was the parent knowing he was doing such a thing was the parents know he takes off  without been told. Like been said privilaged etc yah agreed but remember this. Its too late that teen dont have a chance to take away privilaged when it happens.  Its God that works on him  he will be sorry if he s on other side  no warning etc. Only one time thats it bam. 

Teens today are get away with everything  from society whos  not strong enough to have the laws on our country usa  and canada. Time is short ... Time will tell when it happens. It will be good thing that when see newspaper or news talk to teens and say look this what happens this is warning before you do crazy stuff driving choice been killed  or coma or jail term  or be good careful stay out of trouble. 

Thats only way to beginning with. I m sorry about the father  be alone for Christmas without his wife and teen. He should understand its not all his fault  to be the blame for it. It happens to be. Now its time to move on.

You caught the boy red handed.  You have hard numbers that say he drives recklessly, often.  The same numbers prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he often travels at supralegal speeds.  Foget the trust issue.  As the man himself said, "trust should be earned."  The boy violated your trust by taking the PRIVELEDGE of driving and abusing it.  Lets not forget that driving, especially at the age of 16, is a priveledge, not a right.  Neither is a nice car (Mistubishi SUV, etc).  I agree with the viewer who proffered the punishment of suspension of driving priveledges.  A one month minimum suspension for every instance of 100+ (especially now that he knows that the chip is there) i would consider satisfactory, however i would allow a SMALL amount of leaway for the fist offense, say one month total suspension for all infractions to date.  I WOULD however, find a way to assure that the chip could not be tampered with now that the son knows it's there.  Children are not stupid (although there are exceptions to every rule), and I doubt very much that the vehicle would cease to operate with the removal of the chip, so a method of safeguarding it would be in order.
