A lot of kids as of lately have been getting stopped for speeding around here, my son included. I don’t want to have to go his graduation with one less classmate!

My prayers and best wishes go out to this teen and the family. This is a parent's worst nightmare. I, too, have received a call from the ER room surgeon who was treating my daughter after her car was struck by a drunk driver.

Having said that, I travel the Molino highway frequently and most of it is a 45 mph zone. From the looks of this truck, this was not a 45 mph accident. The statistics for teens involved in deadly accidents is astounding. They must be made aware that "for every action, there is a reaction". In my opinion, a 16-year-old does not have the maturity or good judgment to get behind the wheel of a 2000 pound vehicle without adult supervision. If this age limit is to prevail, we must find a way to educate our children that driving is privilege and not a right of passage.
