TEENS: A Tip; Don't Do This, You'll Regret it!

Here's an article that ought to give pause to anyone without having first reached 151/2 years old, plus completed Driver's Ed., and obtained a Learner's Permit.

Teen On Joyride Crashes Grandmother's SUV Into 4 Cars; Flees On Foot

This sort of behavior is not going to endear you to the DMV (as well as various other law enforcement agencies), who can be a bit persnickety on people driving without the proper training, permits and licenses. After all, that's what they were set up to do; make sure everyone is fully capable of safely operating a motor vehicle.

Needless to say, this young man is in serious trouble. He will most likely have a juvenile arrest record, which will make it harder, and a lengthier process, for him to get his first license in the future.

Remember, you have a lifetime of driving privilege ahead of you once you do get your license. Believe it or not, one day, after your 10 thousandth time of sitting in slow moving traffic, gnashing your teeth, trying to get to where you are going, ironically thinking way back when you were a teen driver and super eager to get your license so you could have freedom to go where ever you wanted to whenever you wanted, you'll be muttering, "This is freedom!?"
