It should be a law and I don't care how inconvenient it might be.

We were just talking about it here with a friend who has high school kids (Illinois)

older adult with them.

Don't know specifics but it's intended to prevent those under a certain age from driving with other young people because they tend to have high rate of accidents.

I was in the back seat. Both me and the front seat passenger were yelling at the driver to slow down or stop. When we got into town and stopped at a sign the passenger dragged the driver out of the car and punched him out. I don’t think it cured him because I think he ultimately got in a high speed crash but at least no one was with him. Kids at that age should be limited to something like a VW Bug.

as to be almost ho-hum. (And incidentally has been since about - the invention of the wheel? Seriously - there're stories of Amish kids 'recklessly' racing buggies and wagons. Generally without killing multiple individuals - but with absolutely the same mind-set.)

It's tragic certainly. But it's also absolutely predictable.

Less protection than in a car.
