[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t give teens BMWs or similar. This tale keeps getting repeated with tragic results. At least this time they hurt themselves and not innocent teens walking down a sidewalk.[/quote]

Kids can crash in any car.  A BMW would hopefully have more safety features.[/quote]

It was a BMW that destroyed the family at Pyle a few years ago.

Parents giving high performance vehicles to inexperienced teenagers are profoundly reckless and I hope every single one of them are sued into oblivion for those accidents. [/quote]

I absolutely agree if the parents were negligent they should be sued but it makes no sense to blame it on “a bmw.” Kids drive way too fast and kill themselves and others in all types of cars. (-a mom who drives an old Camry)[/quote]

Have you really not noticed that 95% of these accidents involve a BMW?[/quote]

Perhaps BMWs don't fare well in crashes.[/quote]

The problem is that [b]BMWs drive too fast too easily[/b] and drivers do not realize that they are out of control.[/quote]

Are these self-driving cars?

Because otherwise, they are [i]driven[/i] too fast by a [i]driver[/i]. In this case a teen driver, in a car they had no business being in. [/quote]

My teen drives my BMW SUV. But he’s not an idiot and and drive carefully. It’s the driver not the car to blame. [/quote]

The SUV is a tank and not a race car. [/quote]

Doesn’t stop them from trying to drive it like a race car though, does it?

No. [/quote]

Look, I think it’s stupid to give teenagers a BMW and I see the pattern of these spoiled rich boys and fatal accidents, but if you’ve ever driven a BMW SUV, you will understand it actually handles like crap. It’s miserable to drive and is a deterrent. I really don’t like ours at all. My teenagers would never drive it simply because it’s SO difficult to maneuver and stopping it at even 40 mph is like stopping a truck. [/quote]

[b]Ever consider that those are the cars the parents own and they are not buying them for the kids but borrowing the parents.[/b]    You sound horrible.  I prefer an SUV as it handles much better than a car and better in rain and snow.

Replace your car, its dangerous.[/quote]

Exactly, stop acting like this was the parents being unresponsible for giving their kid a BMW.  We have 2 cars for our family and 3 teen drivers.  They borrow our cars, and do not have a car of their own.  Granted, ours are Honda SUV and Minivan, but we have not bought them their own car.    But if my kid had proven to drink and drive or drive irresponsibly, they would absolutely lose car privileges.  And they know they can always Uber home, no questions asked.[/quote]
