Thread: cop lights

actually, the last few comments seemed to be insulting. He's been convinced to not do the lights, but teh posts keep coming. If he ain't gonna do it, it's all done.
Just had to add. ^___^

None of the responses above were insulting in anyway. Trust me if Street Wolf was unjustly insulting him, I'd say so.

The posts keep coming because he keeps quoting false facts and is still, "Really guys I'm not gonna do it, but I wouldn't get in trouble if I did or just a slap on the wrist." We are, on occassion, actually looking out for the best interests of everyone in and out of this community. Most of those posting have the life experience to tell him. Yes, I'm sure to another teen it does sound like we are talking down to him. Completely the opposite if it was actually being taken as it should.

The only true statement he has made was the crashes involving alcohol. Yes, 15-20 year olds have less alcohol related accidents than 21+. Quite obviously due to the fact that their access to alcohol isn't as great as the 21+ group. The teens getting in wrecks now are only one step away from the new legal drinkers getting in accidents then.

I'm sure you won't do it and you seem to be taking this seriously. Especially since you went from cop lights and illegally pulling people over to neons and train horns... How much attention do you need? LOL.

Teen drivers have the highest fatal crash risk of any age group. Per mile traveled, they have the highest involvement rates in all types of crashes, from those involving only property damage to those that are fatal. The problem is worst among 16 year-olds, who have the most limited driving experience that often results in risk-taking behind the wheel.

Compared with crashes of older drivers, those of teenagers more often involve driver error.

Excessive speed is a factor in higher crash rates among 16-year-old drivers.

More fatal crashes of teenage drivers involve only the teen's vehicle. Typically, these involve high speed and/or driver error.

Fatal crashes among teens are more likely to occur when other teenagers are in the car. The risk increases with every additional passenger. In 2003, 59 percent of teenage passenger deaths happened in vehicles driven by another teenager.

Although this is a problem among drivers of all ages, it's actually less of a problem for drivers ages 16 and 17. In 2003, the estimated percent of fatally injured passenger vehicle drivers of this age who had blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) at or above 0.08 percent was 16 percent.

This is a high-risk activity for beginners. Per mile driven, the crash rate for teenagers driving at night with passengers is 4 to 5 times more likely than teenagers who drive alone during the day.

Teenagers generally are less likely to use safety belts than adults. In 2003, 57 percent of 16- to 20-year-old passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were not wearing safety belts.

We wish all of our members to be safe and make sound choices. Are all of mine? Um, not by a long shot. Were my choices in my teens responsible for me or the general public? Hell no! Happy modding and make sure those blue and reds have no reason to be behind you.

Knowledge is not an insult.

if i wanted attention i wouldnt be on here. and if u are going to say that how about u just dont look at any of the forums i post. all im trying to do is get advise and u and street wolfs have to be dicks about it. neither of u are helping me. all u had to say is dude its a bad idea and i would of been thankfull but no u guys are ass holes who get enjoyment from picking on younger people.

OMG! Tyler, Lowlyfe was actually making a joke out of his comment hence the emote. Even I can see that.

Now YOU go out of your way and call them "dicks?" I find that more offensive than someone calling you out on your maturity level. In Street's and Lowlyfe's posts did they call you a "dick" or something assinine like that?

Sure Street questioned your maturity level. NO DOUBT! But you kept insisting it was OK to break the law cause you are a minor. But then you had a bunch of replies by other people stating how you CAN be tried as an adult. I even went as far as posting a nice post at the end of this thread.

But now you go out of your way to start name calling people who didnt even do anything. I think the part about your maturity level you boasted about earlier, has lost a few points.

I am not gonna sit here and call you names, but I will call you out for your unthoughtful comments and illogical rationalization of how you can get away with breaking the law. If you don't believe us? Then just go find any Officer of the law and tell him what your intentions are and ask him honestly what would happen to you.

Well the reason I put in my .02 is because as most know I am a cop lol. Be he insisted "it's ok because I'm a minor" so I only offer advise once.

Dang Street! I didnt get a quote in your post? I am hurt.
