Teens killed in Crash with semi

My thoughts are with the team in the truck. And NO ONE else.

 

Here in Maine. Teen drivers are not allowed to have other teens with them unless others are older than 21. Research has shown, under age of 21 drivers may as well be drunk if driving with other teens. As other teens are a distraction to the teenage driver.

Condolences to the families that lost their kids on a bitter learning experience.

 

How does that work out there? Do many teens abide by that law/rule?

 

Interesting. Wonder if other states or municipalities have laws/ordinances similar to this.

 

Georgia is the same

 

Oregon does.

 

Since the law went into effect. Teen accidents went down

 

I believe in the Beaver state, if a driver between 16 to 18 gets a citation, the license is revoked for a period of time.

 

I have a 19 year old daughter. When she got her license at 16 she knew part of the deal is I would monitor how she drives via gps and get alerts if she drove too fast or went outside of certain areas. Knowing that dad was watching kept her honest for the most part. But once she turned 18 it was turned off as I believe once she was 18 I had to treat her like an adult and ever since then she’s gotten several tickets and a couple fender benders. I’ve had to pay for lawyers to keep her driving record clean since dear old dad pays her car insurance and tuition and most everything else.

I used to make her read articles like this about crashes but now it’s like I’m not a kid anymore dad; thanks dad. Need more money on my ATM card dad. Love you dad as she goes out the door and I pray she gets home alive, articles like this still scare me.
