In reply to Itsbob post:
And after awhile their stupid behaviour will ensure they run out of buddies to ride with. AND when the buddy finds out WHY he needs a ride.. "LOST my license to a CAMERA" his friend will be less likely to act a fool behind the wheel lest HE loses his licencse like his friend.
Where in SOMD are they going to put camera? And what happens if the first incident is the last? Then what good is a camera or taking away the license.
It is up to the parents to teach their kids.
I don't know why they were where they were, why don't you enlighten us..
I do not know why there were there..far end of the loop...
Who told you seatbelts don't help in a 't-bone' collision?? They may even have helped at the speed they were traveling (not sure WHICH accident it is you are talking about here, but the BIG one non of them were wearing seatbelts and they were T-Boned so NOT wearing seatbelts didn't help either!!)
25+ years.in fire & rescue..know the physics of a high speed t-bone...and all were wearing seat belts..and no amount of air bags or reenforced doors are going to protect a human body from a faster, heaver object. Law of physics!
OR maybe it was the size and weight of the bigass truck that hit them.. Calvert Accident(what's that called, KINETIC energy!??)
Good..you understand a t-bone accident!
how many of those four died?? How many were wearing seatbelts??
Driver died on scene, her brother in critical condition, 2 other, gilrs, in serious, but serious. ALL had belts on per the news.
It hasn't happened yet.. why should it happen today??
What has not happened????
How many kids do you have? Do you have a JOB!?? Are your kids active?? No a parent CAN'T keep up with their kids schedules AND hold down a job. Kids have school, then after school activities or sports, then most of them go to their Jobs.. You think my boss will understand me coming in late EVERYday, then leaving early EVERYday?? AND still get paid??
Cant your wife drive your kids around?
Why do they need jobs?
I think I already have.
And your solution 'keep doing what we are doing' (nothing), and you'll continue to have to answer these calls.
My solution is as stated before..
It is up to the parents to teach their kids and exercise better control over their privledge of driving.
If you are too busy to teach your kids and to set a good example, then I am sorry for you.
Well, so far I've had two get through driving.. safely.. abiding by the rules.. I guess that's GOOD PARENTING.. but my kids aren't the worry.. What if my kid was the one driving the other direction when the other car lost control because they were speeding?? It wouldn't have been my kids fault, does that mean he would have been less dead
But Bob, it wasnt your kid...it was 4 other teens and in Calvert, it was someones daughter.
Consider you kids lucky..and you blessed you have not lost a child in an accident.
Good job on teaching them the right things in life. Hope it continues for the other 3.
From what I've read, the private driving schools leave much to be desired.
