Saw that. Although the two are not really comparable the loss of life is lamentable.
In regards to the Leeds incident ( and we had a similar incident just down the valley from me near Halifax earlier in the year ), it’s young drivers, with a car full of teens driving like idiots.
As has ever been the case…
Not always the case, but I would argue that in todays world, any kid driving a car under the age of 23…………has to be funded by their parents. The insurance is too prohibitive.
So I do think the parents have a responsibility to ensure their kids are educated enough not be ********s behind the wheel.
