I hope my child never turns out to be a young PUNK!

Just a vent.

I live in Queens on a one way street.

At the corner of my block is a stop light.

People fly up the block to try and make the light all the time.

Well tonight we get home from a BBQ, go in the house & hear BOOM!

We run out to see a car smashed into the cemetary fence. The car took out the fire alarm box and knock the steel fence almost completely over.

The young punk driving was going so fast (witnesses say 80 mph) that he tried to make the light and turn. He was going SO fast that there weren't even any skid marks! He never got a chance to stop!

By the time I run up to the corner, him (the driver) and his GF were already out of the car, he had a broken leg and she had NO injury! Thank God they didn't kill an innocent bystander or someone walking.

I am so mad at this, and I think they were drinking from what I heard their freinds say!

Why do young kids act this way?
I know when I was younger I did stupid stuff but not like this!

Just needed to vent thanks!

Re: I hope my child never turns out to be a young PUNK!

That's why I (most of the time) wanted to be the driver when I was that age. I didn't want to be in a car with someone who might kill me. I'm no angel, I do go over the speed limit, but not like that and I don't try to make the lights. What's the big deal with waiting for 2 minutes? If you're in such a rush, than leave the house a few minutes earlier!
