The STANDUP Bill

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1895
This takes $25M out of the transit fund (that the States get anyway) and allots it to States that enact certain restrictions on teen drivers. The biggest is an interim period up to age 18 where the driver can't drive at night and has to have at least one 21 year old in the car.
Since I know young kids; if they are going to drive like idiots to the point of terminating their lives, they will do it no matter who is in the car. Is having a 21 year old idiot in the car going to stop that? No.
I consider it thinning the herd, natural selection. Let the idiots die, though I do feel sorry for the innocents that die in the process. They should have never gotten in the car, they knew (or found out real fast and should have demanded to get out) how the person drives.
