A guy i went to school with was recently in a wreck. He was doing some work for a older couple i also know. They were bringing him home and at a intersection were blind sided cause there is a hill you cannot see what is coming over it. The Wife didn't make it and the guy i knew is now in I.C.U. and in not so good shape. His Brain is bleeding and they don't know if he will ever wake up.

SO please whether you have been driving 20+ Years or just recently got your permit/license Please be careful.

TY for reading this
Safe Driving.

2011 was a bad year for me, lost 3 friends. Was also in a wreck with my mother 2 months ago and miraculously suffered no major injuries. Younger kids 16-20 that are inexperienced drivers and think that they are not, need to be smarter on the road as well and understand that speeding and showing off isn't worth their own life, or those with them in the vehicle. My best friend Ashley was ejected from a vehicle that was split in half doing 60+ on a pot hole infested road with tractor trailers parked all along it, because the kid driving thought he was "cool" speeding and showing off. Breaks my heart when people's lives are cut short, whether I know them or not. Tragic :cry:

Sorry for your loss tyler, and I hope your buddy pulls through <3 He need's your prayers more than anything right now.

Agree man, that's why they need to raise the driving age in America. The human brain isn't even close to developed enough for people that young to be behind the wheel. For the sake of themselves, and others.

i don't get it. you said it was essentially bad luck so how can being more careful change bad luck?

just got my g2 permit (meaning I can drive alone)
and i'm actually pretty cautious. I wasn't when I first started but after doing my in-car lessons I saw some nasty and mean drivers. I even got the finger once for driving 50 on a 50

I realized even if I am a good driver, I have to watch out for other people who may not be paying as much attention. it's actually a huge responsibility

At 16?

It's plenty developed. It just lacks real experience.
