My 16-year-old cousin who had his license for one week flipped and rolled his Prelude going 88 mph on a 12-ft. wide curvy road in the woods with two passengers. No fatalities, luckily, but both of the passengers were hurt severely. Both are out of the hospital now, not sure if either have lasting damage. I'm also not sure if either of their parents will file charges on my cousin.

How long do you think he'd lose his license for something like this? Until he's 21 maybe?

Fvcking asshole. How new of a prelude was this? Was it his car (aka his parents gave it to him)? I hate assholes who take stuff for granted.

If the gov't is gonna protect us from our stupidity, then they should punish us for it too. Glad everyone lived, hope he never drives again.

No idea of the year of the car, but his parents did buy it for him.

He's effectively lost it for 7 until his insurance is 4 figures again.

And he's not driving anything until he buys it himself, assuming his parents have their heads on straight.

Man, this really boils my blood. How hard is it to FREAKING drive defensively??? I hate how new drivers, as soon as they get their license, think they're Mario Andretti out there.

Well, I hope they're not stupid enough to reward him with another car. While I feel for the two passengers, they most likely were also wanting to drive this fast. I'm betting he thought he was Racer-X status, and now he's more like I'm-Screwed-X status.

damned kids are a ton more likely to do stupid things when friends are with them. I think it would help if young drivers weren't allowed to drive anyone but themselves or adults. That to go along with no driving at night rules, etc... the junior license rules...

BTW, it takes an accident to teach kids not to do something again... at least nobody else (innocent) got hurt this go-round. Maybe this saves someone else's life down the road.
