In 2008, 60 percent of deaths among passenger vehicle occupants ages 16-19 were drivers.

Getting out of bed in the morning involves at least some risk.I know that kids die in car accidents.I worked in a major hospital's ER for 20 years.But you know...the funny thing is that driving is something that Americans take for granted and many first learn to drive when they're 16-18 years old.OTOH,no more than 0.0001% of 40 year olds would even consider circumnavigating the earth alone.Why? Too dangerous.And they'd be correct.

And yet,to some here,a 16 year old kid doing it is just duckey.I have no problem with the kid wanting to do it.My problem is with the *parents*.Period

I know that I won't change any minds here.I also know that my mind won't be changed.

I'm done with this thread.
