he might have been the one who almost killed my husband and daughter. This was around 7:30 this evening.
The driver of this car - it's a silver or gray BMW, possibly regular probably M3 - deliberately blew through two red lights (Holton Arms school and 495 SB exit to River Road west) on River Road westbound in Bethesda. It's a Maryland plate starting with 1F (withholding the rest on this site). If this sounds like your car, you probably need to know that your kid is driving like a maniac, and could easily kill someone. My husband reported the incident with plate details to the police. I'm sure your son will suffer no consequences, but I hope that you and and your family will be able to live with yourselves if he ever does seriously harm or kill someone due to his dangerous driving. |

| The sad thing is, it's likely the kid's car, not the parents'. |

| Good for you for calling the police! So glad you got the plate number and of course that your family is safe. |

| OP, I don't know why so many parents trust their teens with driving. I always assume the worst, of course they don't know what I'm thinking. |

| A BMW is a car that just encourages maniac driving, so I would never let a teenager get behind the wheel of one. Great post, OP, and sorry your husband and daughter had such a scare. |

Yep, my parents gave me an ancient bright yellow VW when I was a teen. They said that I couldn't go fast enough to do real damage, and that no one would be able to say they didn't see me!

OP, I hope the parents of this idiot see this post. I'm glad your family is safe.
Let's keep this bumped up. |

OP,
Good for your husband for reporting this. Please keep us posted. I know that stretch. Yikes. |

| P.S. One quibble: No consequences? Let's not judge the driver's parents' parenting based on their child's behavior. I know several very affluent families, and they are damn strict and would not tolerate this. |

Nice! I like this idea. I had a 3 cyl Geo Metro for that reason. |

| The majority of parents on this site are parents of young kids. But if you reported it the police should be contacting this family - so glad you reported it! |

You might want to post this on the Older Kids forum.
Good for you, OP. Someone on my neighborhood listserv posted something similar (different car/driver/neighborhood), if you know someone who has access to the Bethesda listserv, you might also want to post there. This child driver is endangering the lives of others, himself, and his passengers. |

| I remember a friend of mine in HS. Her parents bought her a BMW, and she crashed a month later. Then they bought her a Volvo. SHe crashed it. Then they bought her a convertible Toyta Celica. Crashed it, too. Sadly, some people never learn. |
