Title: Stuff that sickens me to my stomach.

The driver was 14 YEARS OLD. Couldn't even take a driving lesson yet, let alone drive legally at all.
I'd be even more ashamed if his or her parents let him drive.

seems like a Bad Idea but honestly I don't consider it to be as sickening as drunk driving, that one lady who threw a dog out of the car on the GSP, '70 spec US route shields, etc.

You really despise those, don't you?  :sombrero:

I am 14 and as a Roadgeek it's assumed I have at least some driving experience in some way, which I do. I have driven tractors before and I have driven my mom's car in parking lots and in my neighborhood. I am definitely a pretty good driver so far and am striving to get as much experience as possible before my permit, and certainly before my license. What makes me sick is any medical problem or life-threatening injury or medical issue of any kind, temporary or long-term. I would rather just die than to live a life full of medical issues (especially lung problems. I simply DREAD the thought of lung problems and DO NOT EVER plan on smoking). If I were to die I would want a quick death with as little pain as possible. Even if I never got a chance to say goodbye to a soul I just DONT want to wake up hooked up to all that crap even if it was a chance to say bye. I just try to stay as far away from the hospital as possible. I am easily paranoid and I DONT want to get a medical problem or anyone close to get one. Just seeing someone on oxygen makes me flattout lose my appetite and depresses me. That's what sickens me. And it literally makes me sick.

The thing that sickens my stomach the worst is Indian food. Sister insisted the family go to Indian restaurant. Had severe stomach cramps for three hours. Pepto didn't work.

So...I'm confused, this article is missing a ton of context.  What were these kids even doing that led to a 14 year old driving around?

Excellent question. I don't think we'll ever know, after all everyone involved in the accident died...
