No one deserves to die before their time, so I agree.

Just highlighting that more people are dieing/getting hurt in other ways then from cars in general, but don't recieve half the media coverage/kneejerk reactions.

I dont think this is a Kneejerk reaction... this effects all of us...if they want to hurt themselves , we cant stop that..but they run the risk of killing / injurying others as well... These kids were going to a school to pick up mates/ family...what if they had hit other kids/ pedestrians ???.... or crashed into a car carrying a toddler or elderlly couple ???....
Placing spped or red light camera's maybe a kneejerk reaction...but wanting to highlight the stupidity of some of these descisions , should be in the media and something needs to be done, before other inocent parties become part of the colateral damage to teenagers bad descisions...

This could have been avoided if the parents took the keys to their car, it's quite a simple solution, and i'm sick to death of the government trying to protect everybody, people have in general lost the ability to take responsibility for their own actions.

Mate, buy yourself a dictionary & use it to check the actual spelling of words when you post. I almost got a migraine trying to read & decipher your post.

Or use Apple Safari as your web browser, it has a spell check built in.
