Slow clap

Hard to have sympathy for some dumb kids drag racing on a busy road. Fine to play with your own lives but to endanger others is a selfish and thoughtless game. Then to hear one of them was a young mother. Slow clap for her for not thinking of her son. I guess they paid the price for their stupidity. Unfortunately they almost took an innocent person with them.

they were all in their twenties but age aside it was another tragic accident to happen on our roads that could of been easily avoided. Thoughts and prayers to the families and friends involved.

We have all done stupid stuff in our lives or been a passenger with someone who has. Some of us get away with us and some of us don't. Deepest sympathies to the families...
