prolly a stolen vehicle, out on a joyride then they ditch it. Or it catches fire and they ditch it.

An intoxicated teenage driver ran a red light in San Mateo this morning and broadsided a taxicab, killing the driver, then fled as flames engulfed his car where two other teenagers were trapped, police said.

Life is just like Grand Theft Auto, no?

And there are FReepers who want the legal drinking age lowered.

Maybe the legal driving age should be raised to 21 with qualification requirements like they have for pilots.

Actually, the latter, coupled with very stiff minimum sentences would be enough.

Killing one person with a vehicle while intoxicated should get you life.

Killing multiple people with a vehicle while intoxicated should get you the chair.

Operating a vehicle while intoxicated should get you five years.
