The law is the law for a reason, the fact that the mom gave the keys to a teen with a learners permit is criminal, either that or the teen took the keys without permission which is criminal, with that said, I sure hope the mom doesn't go to jail for this, community service might be more appropriate, but jail time would be harsh. After reading this story and seeing what happened I wont even let my teenage boys start the car in cold weather. honestly im surprised they are going to allow her to get a license at 18 I would have thought 21.
Quoted from vid1900:Hopefully the mom goes to jail for at least a year for something her daughter accidentally did.
its not an accident, the mom as a licensed driver may have had the presence of mind to shut the ignition or push her leg off the gas or who knows? This is why the law says you need to have a licensed driver in the car with a learner, usually of a certain age like 18 or older. yes I too have made mistakes, but I understand I have to pay the piper and did.
Quoted from vid1900:When you were a teen, did you let little things like rules keep you from driving when your parents were out?
