2 Teenagers Killed in Accident

[Trainrex]

**** I got my 02 Wrx as my first car and it was all modified and it wasn't too much of a car for me. Haven't got a speeding ticket yet.

Odds are you just haven't been caught yet. As tragic as it is, it was still avoidable, and the parents did make a mistake which they are now paying for.

you have to be mortal to die.

Touché.

You sound like a model of restraint and responsibility yourself. OK, two innocent kids died needlessly, that is tragic. What makes it more tragic is that it was totally avoidable. Read the article again. You had a situation here where:

1. A 16 year old (inexperienced) who doesnt even have his own license, giving his older brother (weird but whatever) driving lessons. Neither of them should have been unsupervised.
2. This same 16 year old is already earning citations and doesnt even have his license yet !
3. Despite all of the above, parents give the OK for the unlicensed inexperienced and already earning citations brother to give the other one lessons...
4. And once the other brother gets his license, dad does the equivalent of handing him a loaded gun, and says with a wink "now dont go shooting anything, OK". A brand new sports car, smart decision there.

Yah dude, we all drive fast, we've all been 16 once, that's why we're here on a WRX forum. I'm alive today because of a little thing known as responsibility (financial and behavioral, mine and my parents) that prevented me from doing stupid stupid stuff like this.

They may be the nicest family ever and not deserving of this sadness, but it was totally avoidable...
