I have no idea, but what if he has a six year old sister? Life without parole for her?
Uncles, cousins ... his grandparents still alive? Lock 'em up.
FFS.
This is certainly not the first instance of parents making bad decisions concerning a barely adult child. If we are not locking up parents who allow children access to firearms, we surely will not lock up a parent for buying, and insuring, a car for a child.
The issue is the police. If serious tickets were issued when they should have been the insurance for the vehicle would have been astronomical and he would not have been driving ... or if so, illegally.
I totaled my first one, dad told me, "we bought your first one ... your on your own." Crashed the second on as well. Did not care for the bus ... life lesson learned.
