Man, 18, killed in southeast Wichita crash | Wichita Eagle
I hadn't read the article in the Eagle yet...but I had read the article about the accident.

As a father, I question the judgement of parents who turn young, inexperienced drivers lose on the streets in brand new high powered cars. Kids that age lack the emotional development to understand the risks they are taking when driving....and obviously lack the driving experience to handle a car like that.

My daughter is 17 years old, she'll be 18 in December, and has been driving for a year. The thought of her out on the road even in my wife's old Civic makes me nervous due to her inexperience (which can only be gain by actually DRIVING, obviously.) But I prefer to stack the odds in her favor as best I can by putting her in a more manageable car.

The thought of her out on the streets in my Camaro? Or Z? A complete non-starter....that's just not a safe decision...for ANYONE....IMO.
