How do you know that the kid hasn’t taken defensive driving courses? How do you know that the kid hadn’t gone to Skip Barber’s racing school? How do you know the kid wasn’t an accomplished auto-x driver? How do you know there wasn’t a mechanical failure? Was the decision to do it stupid? Yes. > the parents for being irresponsible and giving them a tool for destruction without supervision > Is the decision to overextend yourself in credit to the point of bankruptcy & not have a pot to piss in? Yes. > Is it stupid to rape, murder, get yourself addicted to illegal drugs? Yes. So, why aren’t the parents prosecuted for all of these life events? Because their child is above the age of reason, legally, and socially. If they gave the kid a lighter, and he burned down the house… who would go to jail, the parents or the child? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-speed-run-ends-very-badly-for-some-idiots/42488)._
