We read in the newspaper yesterday that a 17-year-old boy from Whiteland High School, near Indianapolis, was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and two years probation. The boy was driving considerably over the speed limit and crashed into a tree last February. He was convicted of reckless homicide because the crash killed two friends who were riding with him. To make matters worse, he was still in the 90-day probationary period for newly licensed drivers, so he wasn't allowed to have passengers unless someone at least 21 was in the front passenger's seat. As part of his community service, the driver must contribute 50 hours to educational programs that focus on safe teen driving.
Moral of the story...
It can happen to you. Reckless driving can have serious consequences, so be careful out there.
