[quote=Anonymous]OP, your child should be taking Ubers, public transportation, or riding a bike for the rest of his life. He should NEVER drive again. I am sick of people using mental health excuses for dangerous, life threatening behavior. A car can be a weapon and can kill himself and others. Would you let him have a gun? Then why a car?

I am from Richmond and and OP's situation reminds me immediately of a there a famous case down there from about 10 years ago. A 32 year old man decided he wanted to see what it was like to drive his car as if he was flying an airplane, was going over 100 mph on Grove (where it is 25 mph) in a residential neighborhood and next to an elementary school, He was manic depressive, claimed he was manic at the time, and couldn't help it.

He hit a woman's car from behind, sent her car flying and into a tree, killing her. His own car went airborne too, over the sidewalk and into someone's house. Man comes from a wealthy family, who knew he was mentally ill. But he had a car and drivers license anyway. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter, and got a plea deal where he was found not guilty by reason on insanity, and was committed.

This was preventable. OP's son killing someone this way is also preventable. [/quote]
