Youth will be youth. They hear what us older folks say.. but they just have to test the "wrong" way as well to see how far they can push it.
As for your comment Wheelman about "you haven't been in an accident yet, so doubt you ever will"....I pitty you. I have had 3 vehicles destroyed while they were parked outside my house, and I have been hit head on as well while I was at a standstill. Those who think "if it hasn't happened by now, it never will" are the ones who usually feel invincible and end up causing the worst wrecks.
I have never so much as dented one of my cars (except off road) nor have I ever been in an accident that was my fault, purely because of luck and the fact that I have been driving since 1986 and also raced 3 types of cars in 3 completely different types of racing. I drive defensively and it seems to keep my vehicles in one piece, as well as me. Cars can be replaced, lives can't, and I am not just talking about you.
