Some parents know what their unruly children are doing. The law needs to be more harsh with the younger generation today. They are lawless and the law protects them to a great extent.
What if he had killed someone?
Driving fast with a passenger and no license, that’s pure recklessness. He’s lucky nobody was killed.
Speeding, no licence, no insurance, took the car without permission, that’s a whole list of bad decisions.
