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.
