who probably saved her kid's life. Sixteen and a DUI? Time for that sit-down talk. And a lot of community service. For which he will have to take the bus or have Mommy drive him there.

Needs a lesson in common sense and humility. And gratitude that he had a nice truck at 16.

Grateful to his mother for being hard on him and realizing that just because he's old enough to drive, it doesn't mean he's mature enough to drive.

Let's hope he will be in a couple of years. The mother's action is appropriate, not "mean".

By the time I turned twenty one it was amazing how much that woman had learned in five years.
