Where and in what world does a “teenager” get a Tesla to drive?
Now we all drive a little faster than speed limits, but 88 in a 45 is more than just a little.
At what point does this become murder?
And who ever put this car in the hands of a teenager has some culpability as well.
Time to throw the book at all involved.
