Dilemma - my 16-year old

Its not really a matter of the duck, or the damage done during the race. Sure if the goose, or duck or what ever wasnt there, PROBABLY none of this would of happened. But It did happen. One can always "What If" a situation to death, but it doesnt change what had happened.

The point is, the son was doing something that he was told not to. Its about defying Trust, not about an animal being in the road, not about the damage done. That animal has as much right bieng on the road, if not more, than the right of the two kids racing.

Your son was lucky. Racing on the street, and accidents caused by racing on the street dont usually have such an outcome.

While some may be born with cat like reflexs, forsight, and intutions, some are not.

While I'm not against street racing by any means (That would be really really hypacritacal of me), I paid my duse. I started off with a car that couldnt even go fast..Had trouble going 70. After I got the feel, I graduated up to a V8 64 1/2, then I got into a new GT.

One must find his own limits before finding the cars. Most peoples limits fall far short of the car they are driving.
