They were air-born for a while, lost control, and hit a telephone pole. One girl survived. But i also have encountered plenty of older idiots too. Some guy just yesterday looked to be in his 40's thought it would be a good idea to leave his car parked in the center of a busy street at a red light during rush hour. Literally just walked out and went into a store while his car sat in the center lane with its emergency flashers on. (He wasn't broken down because i saw him get in the car and drive off in my rear view.)
Again, I'm not trying to get in a debate here about young verse old, just want to point out that there are many young people out there who are good and responsible drivers.
I don't know about the OP because i really didn't read much of the post, but i am speaking for myself. That's all.

Wasn't looking for a fight so no worries. And your right I don't know you and you may be very responsible for your age as was I when I was younger but I can say for certain that with age comes way more wisdom that just can not be appreciated at a younger age. It's just a fact. As responsible and intelligent I was then, there is no question I'm much more so now than then and can only appreciate that is the truth now. Now of course there are some, as they get older they don't bother to mature but statistically they are the exception not the rule thankfully for all our sakes!!
Believe me the old saying that "youth is wasted on the young" is so true as you age!!
. It's the old adage of "if I only knew then what I know now!"
