Sorry for the double post, but I completely understand why most teenage driver's are considered horrible driver's now after today. I went to get dinner, pulled into the drive thru and got what I ordered. As I'm leaving the drive thru I wait till it's clear to exit onto the busy road. I turn slowly and wait for a truck to turn slowly. Immediately after the truck turns a teenager comes ripping through trying to turn as well without stopping or looking. I sped up as he was turning into me so he wouldn't hit me, I honked my horn and yelled at him. The dumbest part is he didn't know he didn't have the right away and he thought he did nothing wrong.

 

one bad teenage driver puts a name on 1000 good ones

 

There's a lot of reasons teenage driver's are bad compared to other driver's and we put it upon ourselves. Some of my friends have already started to drink and drive, what does that say about teenage driver's? There's a lot of good teenage driver's, but there's so many more bad ones.

 

I'm training to be a pilot in the Air Force, I don't have "thinking errors". This brings us back to the same exact thing. You don't know me or have any knowledge on my driving. I know my own capabilities as well as the limits of my vehicle. I know when I'm putting myself in a dangerous position and when I'm not. The difference is i know what I'm doing.

It seems irrelevant to all these "old" drivers. They assume just because you're young, you're reckless.

Why would you say "we put it upon ourselves" when a few pages back you said you're an above average driver? You went from being outside the box to grouping yourself with most teenage drivers. As for drinking and driving it's flat out stupid and should be mandatory jail time on your first offense. There are just as many if not more adults getting duis as there are teenagers.

 

Well your friends are making very poor decisions and they will be caught sooner or later unless god forbid a police officer has to tell their parents they aren't going to be coming home tonight because they are stuck to the guard rail. As for DUI, that is a problem with everyone not just teenagers, all age groups do it and the age group that is the most common for being involved in fatal crashes is 21-24 YO's, with 25-34 YO'S next.

 

That's not what I meant, when I said WE I meant teenagers in general, I am an above average driver and I know I am.

 

Again sorry for the double post, but I found a Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel Mega Cab for sale. It's at SGI insurance because it was written off from a slight roll. It would be easy to fix since my dad's an autobody technician. I'm thinking of buying it, would there be any downsides to it? The engine runs fine, the only major damage was the crank shaft is bent.

 

wow... The engine runs fine but the crankshaft is bent.

That's quite possibly the worst thing I have read on here.

 

Not crank shaft sorry haha, I meant Crank Shaft Pully. Anyways it wouldn't be a problem to fix, the only thing I want to know is how long is this truck? It looks huge! Does anyone know exactly how long the truck is?

 

This thread is off topic but a good one.
