Since MSNBC also had a Daniel Baldwin crash story with no speculation, I am led to wonder.

it does have this insinuation:

Lee said Baldwin could also face charges of driving under the influence if he were found to be intoxicated.

Teenage boys drive too fast, almost as a rule. He could have just lost control of his car coming home from a date, party or a movie.

Or he could have been fiddling with the stereo, or on the phone. At least he wasn’t masturbating and watching porn like that basketball plaery

My reading comprehension is for shit today.

I hate that crap. Don't let them have licenses, then.

Turns out that with a kidney infection and a week of nothing but lying in bed, you actually can catch up in natter.

I swear I get no entertainment news unless I'm here. I did remember to watch Eureka though, and quite liked it as did Mr. Jane (what he saw of the end with me and the beginning before tivo erased it).

I flipped my car at 16 - just driving too fast and on unfamiliar streets, and I wasn't used to driving yet. No booze involved.

It still strikes me as weird how young you guys can drive.

I'm 23 and I've never driven, nor owned a car. And I only have one friend my age who does.

I didn't drive for a long time after I could have, and looking back (and considering the three accidents my sister got in before she hit 20), I know this was a Good Thing.

Also, I just ated too much yummy free Thai food. I need a nap.

What they do instead, is charge them higher rates for auto insurance. Then everyone wins. Oh wait. No. Just the insurance companies and their lobbyists.

I got my license at 15 (wow, I've now been licensed longer than not !) and at the time, would have thrown a hissy fit if the state had switched to one of those graduated/supervised licensing systems, but with the wisdom of age (heh) I think they are a brilliant idea. What with having gotten into an accident that experience would definitely have prevented 4 days after getting my license.

I * knock on wood * never had so much as a speeding ticket as a teenage driver-15 I think was the age back home. My sole ticket was for window tint because my car had come from Florida and hadn't had to go through inspection in La. yet.

In defense of my less than reckless teenage driving, my father was/is a driver's ed teacher.

Yeah, I don't think Tom got his license till 25, give or take a year.

But in America, the driving thing is so necesary in 90% of the country, and a whole mythology has grown around it, which I find, um, eye-rolly.
