Young Drivers

So many young lives have been lost on our roads. Why?

That is a question State Lawmakers are trying to answer. Is it an issue of training? Experience? I am sure the Insurance Companies in the Insurance Capital of the world can find the answer quickly in their super computers. How many police reports are housed in these computers?

Times have changed. Instant communication technology (ie: cell phones, text messaging, GPS) are all grab and drive tools at our fingertips. It's not just eating a dashboard lunch anymore while you attempt to manuever our busy roadways.

Maybe lawmakers are honing in on a possible solution that could help reduce the number of our children who are killed each year.

It amazes me each Spring when School Districts and Communities go through the pains to host the moc DUI crashes, just to impress prom goers about the dangers of drinking and driving and taking risks. They learn later the "reality" of life when they attend the "real" funeral of a classmate.
