More good riddance!

[LonelyGhost]

so the news reports that five teens in Nanaimo crash a car ... three killed, and two injured ... speed and alcohol a factor -- and an N sticker on the car.

you know my thoughts on this: and I keep wondering why the bloody govt will not step up and raise the driving age; make training mandatory; make the tests strict and realistic; and put more resources towards prevention and policing.

Should make for a somewhat quieter neighbourhood...

speed and alcohol a factor

Nope...I've been trying for an hour now but the bottom of the bucket is bone dry, so this just proves that I couldn't give 2 squirts-0-piss about some dumb kids that kill them selves in their car.

In BC, GLP divides the learning process into two stages

Learner Stage: Lasts at least 12 months, license restrictions require that a learner sign "L" be displayed and a qualified supervisor be in the vehicle, there is a passenger limit and a zero blood alcohol requirement plus the driving hours are restricted.

Novice Stage: Lasts at least 24 months, license restrictions require that a novice sign be displayed "N" , there is a non-family passenger limit as well as a zero blood alcohol requirement

Ditto.....while not happy they off'd themselves this way I'm glad they did it now before they took out someone innocent

ironically, the bleeping driver lived, one seriously injured and three dead passengers.

lots of 'they waz nice kids' quotes from relatives.

the bleeping driver lived

if (s)he has any conscious they'll do the right thing and step infront of a bus

lots of 'they waz nice kids' quotes from relatives.

be that as it may "nice" means jack shit......the driver is a selfish inconsiderate fuck and the passengers were all complicit with their irresponsibility

preaching to the choir here! I would have left the driver at the side of the road to die slowly as a reminder to the next dick-shit that life has consequences!

C'mon guys...

these were only poor dumb kids....it would be better if we could bring 'em back to life, shake 'em by the shoulders, and ask "what the h*** were you thinking?"

I care about young kids, they make one stupid mistake and boom its over. I remember when i first got my licence i tested to see how fast the car went. I think more training is a must. Nobody wants to see young dead people i have seen the Sky to Sky Highway my whole life I know people who have died and it sucks. Kids don't know better I took my class 1 drivers licence and the one part of the course was a 8 hour truck theory course and some of the shit made scense and im a better driver today

sorry, can't agree with you there ... too many of these 'kids' are self-indulgent assholes who don't care about anyone but themselves and no amount of 'shaking' is going to have any effect.

just look at how many of them die year after year and it doesn't stop.

I think if people look back a few years, when we first got our DL's, there were times when we made a few dumb choices. As far as the passengers, I guess they made one poor decision of getting in the car and not being able to predict the future.

I agree - these were someone's kids. I wouldn't wish that on any parent. I did a lot of dumb things too at that age and fortunately I didn't die, although I know friends who did die from foolish acts.

exactly

Of course we all did dumb things as kids and teenagers.....hell I haven't always had a stick up my ass and was this grumpy......when I was a teen I came close to burning down a garage (iodine crystals and potassium nitrate can do some kewl things ), got caught in places I shouldn't have been and was brought home by the popo, dodged death's bullet a couple of time while skiing, biking or riding

what these little pricks did isn't the same thing.....the RCMP are no reporting that alcohol and drugs were causative elements in the accident.....they choose to drink and take the drugs and then chose again to get behind the wheel and drive or sit down as a passenger.....they now have to live, or as the case may be for some die, with the consequences

just some little dirtbags who won't group up to be bigger dirtbags.....fine by me, just less for me to have to pay for their incarceration

Unfortunatly alot of "olderKids" are the same way.

and I keep wondering why the bloody govt will not step up and raise the driving age

This has bugged me for a long time. NO 16 year old kid should be driving in today’s traffic. Why don't they just raise the age to 18. What's the big deal. There is no political consequence. They can't even vote yet! Just raise the age damnit!

even 18 isn't enough ... the 'kid' who was driving was 19!

did you see the news that the off-duty cop got rear-ended by some drunk in a truck ... the drunk had dozens of convictions for drunk driving and was banned from driving until he was 80-something!

yet there he was! drinking and driving.

should lock him in stocks in front of the local high school for the rest of his life as a lesson in stupidity.

 

[FuZzYknUckLeS]

True, they are in their 30's, drive SUV's and bully people in traffic.

Can't say that I've actually had that problem while drivin' in Van...
...but why in fuck can't anybody in this city use their signals??!
