I was just thinking about that and it was another teen boy in a BMW. I know kids can do damage with any vehicle but why would you let a teen drive a performance car?

It sucks. It’s a bummer. But it’s not “tragic.” This doesn’t meet any definition of tragedy

As grim as it sounds, it doesn’t really surprised what happened. He would often rev and show off his vehicle in the parking lot at school.

South County has gotten a really bad pattern of student crashes in recent years. We’ve either passed or are around the two year anniversary of the Lee Chapel road crash where two girls lost their lives.

The only solution imo is to have more cops and up the fines for speeding. Kids will always rebel against parents and their rules. It’s just how things are.

Nothing about the background of any of these teens.
Disgusting humans you all have to be to say horrific things on such a fatal strategy that no one deserves. And only Mad because you can’t afford
To give your teen a high performance car? High performance compared to a 2006 Honda wouldn’t have been any different.. Older cars would put teens at higher risk if accidents occurred like this. You all are the idiots, for even making a forum to bash out teens and for saying the parents are idiots. Nobody deserves to die but also don’t belittle what you simple can’t give your child.
All three teens are well highly educated with ap scholars and many full scholarship offerings. Full ride. No drugs, no entitlement. Pure bliss, and honorable teens who have and give so much respect to everyone around them. Simply good teens enjoying their favorite place to eat and shop.

You all are disgusting

I don’t know details here, but I’m talking especially to immigrant families and those whose vision of the “American Dream” (maybe mainly the kid’s vision, but they work on the parents to give in) includes a fast, fancy car. Again and again we see the same result: dead teens, broken families, hospitalization, jail time, and lawsuits. I have a friend from another country whose high school age son has stopped attending school “unless he gets a car”. Yes, that’s correct. First generation, spoiled rotten, materialistic, manipulative. Because school success is so important in this family, the parents recently gave in! Stay strong, parents, and do the right thing! The American dream ends quickly once your kid brings shame upon the family and ends up in jail or causing you financial ruin. This could apply to any brand of powerful vehicle when driven by a teen with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex, but the BMW is the least surprising detail here. So sorry to hear about this tragedy. My heart goes out to the families. To other families: please do not let this tragedy repeat!

The car isn't the issue. It is how it was driven but maybe the teens weren't at fault and it was another driver or freak accident. I'd rather see kids in new cars with safety features than older ones with no safety features. There is far more to it. You need to track your kids and their driving. Kids need to drive for experience. It may have been a parents car. Mine will drive a new car. Why? Because we only needed one good car for years and now with RTO we need a second good car so we will buy a new one, and because we are older and normally live very basic, we want a nicer car.

I disagree. The teen brain (especially male) is not mature enough to make good decisions given this kind of power and speed. Nothing wrong with a new car for its safety features, but it should belong to the family, not the kid. And it shouldn’t be a performance vehicle. Agree with you that tracking and experience can help, but it’s the same story again and again with teen boys and fast cars. You sound defensive. Buy something reasonable that isn’t just for show/speed.

I'm not defensive and I monitor everything and we WILL put tracking into all our cars when ours starts driving soon. I posted the list and these are not the most deadly cars for teens. The driving behavior was. I'm so tired of people bashing boys. You need to be responsible for your kids and monitor them. You can give them an old car and they can still drive it in a dangerous way. I have no issue with mine driving performance cars or SUV's. I want safety features and monitoring. Why aren't you monitoring your kids?
