HOW many more stories are we going to read of irresponsible, dangerous, young drivers, who race at 100mph, not only putting their own lives at risk, but also innocent pedestrians.

I have nearly been knocked down twice myself, by such lunatics.

Only the other day, a woman about eight months pregnant, had to jump out of the way of such, the shock could have caused her to lose her baby. Luckily she seemed to be okay.

Where has common sense gone?

Or is it not "cool" to be intelligent and responsible.

These culprits should be taken off the road and given maximum sentences. Come on, young drivers, show us you can do better than this, and then we will respect you.
