My cousin has been in a coma for last 5 years, after being seriously hurt in a car accident. His best friend, then 16, was driving his brand new Mustang way too fast in the rain, and he rammed a semi. He died instantly, and was the lucky one. My cousin is certified brain dead and will never live a normal life again. My aunt keeps waiting for a miracle.

Kids need to realize they're not invincible behind the wheel.
