17 YO Girl driving Mom's van totals the ECOdiesel!!! :(

Seems 429,000 miles is all that this car will travel

So long 1991 Jetta ECOdiesel... - YouTube

The 17 year old driver said she was swatting a bee. Watching the video you can see how she just continued in a straight line right for the Jetta. She didn't even hit the brakes until after she was done smashing it

I'll miss that car

I *HATE* teenage females.

Wait, let's back up the bus here; I hate the very IDEA of teenage females.

They are utterly and totally useless creatures, you can't even TEACH them anything in school, they are so totally self absorbed that ALL they ever think about is THEMSELVES!



This was a crime of the highest order. Swatting at a bee, my ASS!! A total liar and utterly unrepentant.

That silly beech was texting some equally useless friend of hers on her freaking cell phone, that is how it happened. I am 100% sure.


She didn't even care.

In a perfect world she should be summarily SHOT, for this, and then a HUGE sign hung around the corpse's neck, stating what she did "I was driving and texting and caused a car wreck" and then, the body should be hung from a high lamp post in the middle of downtown, for a WEEK.


As a warning.

btw love the mutual head swipe. Hope all goes well

[kerry]

Damn. How many security cameras do you have?

[compu_85]

8. Got a good deal on it from woot.com. Looks like it may have paid for itself.

[PanzerSD]

Definately texting..GOOD thing you have cameras especially from two angles with a good shot of the approach...how is that road in front of the house set up? looked like some sort of hairpin cul-de-sac...

And Jim hit the nail on the head. lol

[compu_85]

It's a boulevard. Notice she ran the stop sign at the bottom of the hill.

[PanzerSD]

Nice benz too, (I bet you won't park that on the street now) A friend told me once that every time he sees an old benz, the hood is up...lol

[PanzerSD]

Oh, and make sure she gets nailed for that stop sign...we've had three brutally fatal accidents where I live, in the last 7 days as a result of sign runners.

I think the gesture of putting both hands on your head is interesting. You both do it when you come out of the house at least once. It must be sort of an involuntary gesture of anguish.

Sure looks like texting was the problem. Its bad but I think Jim might be a tad bit overreacting on it.

[JiveTurkey]

Oh Jason that SUCKS!!! I loved that lil jet.

With some of the landmarks in the video, may be able to calculate her speed at various points. Get the cops to pull her cell phone and records plus the airbag computer.
