You forget that teens think they are indestructible... Hell, I know I did when I was in high school.

It seems like a ridiculous mentality to me now, but I used to always think "yeah, but that will never happen to me". Now that I've made it well into adulthood, it still hasn't happen to me, but I am well aware of what CAN happen to me because of even a momentary lapse of responsibility on the road.

Just this summer I was almost witness to a young lady getting hit by a car making a right at a complex intersection. The light was red and she was crossing right in front of me and a BMW came up in the right turn lane at speed. As the pedestrian came out from in front of my car I realized this jackass probably wasn't going to stop in time. Despite being under full braking, he only missed her because she had the presence of mind to dart back the way she had came. I got a good look at Chaz LeDouche reading a text on a cell phone, he didn't even bother to put it down and just drove off oblivious to the lesson he should have learned.

What lesson?

If you're going to hop in a 2000+ lb pile of metal and glass and proceed to hurtle down the road in it, focus on that to the exclusion of all else.

You forget to mention that these snots that are driving them think that it is their right to be a douche to society and not pay attention because the Constitution guarantees them their freedom of speech. Like I mentioned in another post, it all starts with proper parenting to fix the problem before they sprout.

You are talking about abortion, correct?
