    We’ve all made bad decisions when we were young and guess what; we still do! No, I don’t agree with how fast he was driving but hindsight is 50/50. What him and their families need the most is PRAYER. Think about it this way; God may use him to help thousands of young people make good decisions in the future. And who knows, one of them could be any of ours.

    Very very sad. I wish all these unsafe, horrible, fast, disrespectful drivers that have somehow moved into this area had the sense to learn from a tragedy like this but stupid is as stupid does. Maybe law enforcement will crack down on these idiot drivers now.

    “…between 131 and 146 miles per hour…”

    When I was young, there was one time I got the car up to 90 mph…

    Never again!!!

    That hurts. Not sure what his history was, but that mistake really cost him. Kids, remember it isn’t a game out there. Be careful!
