Was M3 crash/bad driving/kids with fast cars

[russell mcmullan]

Interesting topic.  Just in the news here in Orlando, a 16 year old was
given a Jeep Wrangler for her birthday.  2 days later she skipped school
with a coulple of friends to go driving.  I am not clear on the
circumstances but she flipped the Jeep and killed her 15  year old best
friend.

A local talk radio host was talking about it last night and offerd the
opinion that her parents were irresponsible for puchasing a vehicle that has
the propensity for flipping for an inexperienced young driver.  I agree with
the radio host.  There are alot of adults that don't understand vehicle
dynamics and buy these cars for their kids.  It is sad.  If I were to ever
have kids, you can bet that they will be enrolled in a defensive driving
class before they EVER get their own car.  I wish my parents had sent me to
a class like that.

What the young ones need are beaters with good suspension and brakes and no
horsepower.
