New Law Has Some Teens Riding Dangerously ["Trunking"]

A new state law now requires teens to have a provisional license for a year before anyone under 20-years old can hop in their car. Teenagers have found their way around this rule, like they have other laws.
Hiding in the trunk of cars, or what some teens have called 'trunking'.
So now firefighters are being trained to look out for this any accident from a fender bender, to a mulit-car pile up. Firefighters are checking the trunk.
Not all teens are taking the backseat, but for those who do, whether it's a weekend party or just out of a school parking lot, firefighter say they don't want any teen to see a chainsaw ripping into car, from the inside of a trunk.

Another demonstration of the law of unintended consequences.

Isn’t it illegal to ride in the trunk also?

Where is this?Based on the areas they consider 'local', it appears to be Northern California.

Trunking was the big thing when drive in theaters were common.

No way I’d want to be a teen today. We were drinking and driving at 14 without a care or worry. Now you get paranoid after drinking one beer and driving.

It might not be legal, but then again nobody can see them in the trunk, so they can get from Point A to Point B with their friend driving without being caught. Besides, it’s an adventure when you’re 15 and get to drive on your own without the parents.

For some reason my parents always considered drive-in theaters to be low class and as kids they would never take us to one even though IIRC there were two in our town. Maybe they were really worried about the sex and Japanese monsters.
To: 383rr
Oh, I forgot about getting into your high school years and learning to drink and vomit at the drive-in.
