A cyclist from Summit County was killed in May '04 by a 17 year old who drifted onto the shoulder while changing radio stations. Time in the slammer might help, but I think driver training in this country needs to be improved, too. -- mark |

It's *WAY* too easy to get and keep a driver's license in this country, at least in every state I've lived in (a dozen or so). Cheers, Pann -- geek by nature, Linux by choice L I N U X .~.

All three of the young drivers were doing something that belies their low level of driving experience. Asleep, text messaging and screwing with the stereo. If they were porrly trained is ne thing. If they were negligent, and they all were, they should be punished, not felt sorry for. |
