Teen Drivers are Lethal

CNN is reporting on a very important study. I'll put the critical parts here, rather than paraphrasing.

About one-third of the people killed in automobile crashes involving the nation's youngest drivers were pedestrians or occupants of other vehicles, according to a report released Wednesday..."Regardless of what the state law says, parents should not allow their teen to ride with other teen drivers, nor should they be allowed to transport other teens in the first year of driving," Darbelnet said.
Kathy Fowler, 37, a medical reporter for WJLA-TV in Washington, survived a crash on a rural road in Ohio when she was 18. Two other people were killed in the accident.
"I guess as teenagers you think you're invincible, immortal," she said. "None of us realized back then that something we did in a split second could have such a lifelong impact and create so much pain for so many people."

Parents, Take note!!! I know *YOUR* teen appears adult and responsible. But they should face the same restrictions on their driving. It only takes a moment of foolishness (and there are many in the teen years) and the car is transformed from a vahicle into a lethal projectile.
