Girls roll van on I-380, parents all ask the wrong question


Posted on Sep 08, 2009

I'm covering this on the blog today.  Why is a 15-year-old taxiing passengers on I-380 in Iowa?

Does the law allow the driver to taxi passengers for the convenience of parents? I’m not sure I would agree that it does. Was all of this avoidable? Absolutely.  One of the lessons to learn is for parents to stop distracting teens with asking the wrong question, why are there so many lawsuits? Start asking the right question, the one that will reduce the number of accidents and in turn the number of lawsuits.

Why are there so many accidents and injuries?

I send my condolences to the families and rest my case.
