On tv they showed where a father was against his 16 year old son driving and of course he was full of promises of how careful he would be. As Judge Judy says all teenager lie to get out of trouble.

Well the father puts something on the truck that would monitor the speed. Lo and behold how shocked the father was to see that his son did several times 100 miles an hour especially with all the promises and begging he did.

In my city there are teens dying a lot from car wrecks. But I do contribute often--not all--but most time our cars are made of plastic. 35 miles an hour and you have crumpled heap. Or the SUV that are easy roll overs. Our automobiles are death traps and not made like years ago.

One thing for sure--things my parents did one cannot do today with a car. Nor can you make a mistake. And one big culprit is that young people don't want to wear seat belts. They are often killed cause they refuse to put a seat belt on.
