18 Should Be The Legal Driving Age
Apr 14, 2008 - 8:26
Yesterday 16 year old Brian Panzella managed to crash his mom's car into a 2-inch gas line at the Metro Express Car Wash in downtown Boise.
How did this happen? In Brian's words, as published at fox12news.com, "We'd just pulled out of the car wash and my mom told me to put it in drive instead of neutral. Kept my foot on the brake the whole time as soon as I put it in drive the car just took off. No idea what happened. Tried to avoid going into the street so I made a hard left and ran right into the gas line!"
Now, we all know that young Brian Panzella did not actually have his foot on the brake pedal, seeing as how the car "took off" when he put it into drive. And of course, Brian's mom should definitely not have had him in the driver's seat in the first place, but the real lesson here is that, frankly, 16 is way too young to operate a motor vehicle.
Anyone who has been in a car accident can attest to the importance of respecting the dangers involved in just driving a car in the first place. They are incredibly heavy and powerful machines that can be very dangerous and cause great amounts of damage if not used properly. We were lucky yesterday that Panzella's mishap didn't cause a major gas explosion at 13th and Front where the gas line was ruptured.
We know we're not going to get the driving age changed any time soon, so can we at least recommend to all parents to please take the driving instruction very seriously, and even when your teen does get licensed, it might be a good idea to not lend them the car without a few more weeks (or months) of supervised driving. It is just so much more serious than a typical 16 year old realizes. We're betting that Brian Panzella has a decent idea of the seriousness now, but really he should be disallowed to drive until someone shows him which pedal is the brake...
