you could see the final outcome from a mile away . all the sign be there . the prom and the liquor and the fast ride and the distraction of the female . a good commercial for seatbelt usage and and later model vehicle that sit the passenger far back from the windshield . also and the end be rather anti climatic and a the ford econoline van barely suffer a crease across it nose after hit a bridge abuttment at high speed ( highly unlikely ) . more damage to the van would have make it a little more believable . and why do these film always take place during or after a prom . be it a case of once you survive the prom and you will be good for life . more than anything else and it show the lack of police the prom for liquor and and not keep tab on the minor who be leave the dance for a joyride .
