We hear more and more of teenagers who die or who are mained while speeding or driving dangerously. Such stories are tragic for those involved and for their families, especially when they occur over the Christmas period.
So it was sad to read of the three teenagers killed and another who received serious injuries in a head-on crash as the car they were in tried to overtake another car on a road in South Yorkshire on Monday evening. Miraculously, the driver of the oncoming car they struck received only minor injuries.
Some teenagers seem to feel that they are immortal and, encouraged by television programmes such as Top Gear, drive as if they are competing on a race track.
Alas, many of them discover only too soon the truths that a driving licence doesn’t come with experience, that the roads are not race tracks and that death and serious injury may be the consequences of their bad driving.
