We had another wreck just yesterday. It is the 4th time this year that we have had one of the less than stellar students from "that side of town" rear end someone else.
We have an off campus career and technology center that students go to for classes for a part of the day, the school makes everyone take a single route to and from and they must follow the busses for the students that do not drive. All three times a student in an suv (explorer, Cherokee, and liberty) did not pay attention comming to a stop sign in the line of traffic and in each case rear ended the car infront of them. Two of these occasions pushing the middle car into a third.
There are definitely benefits to buy your kids a car that brakes within a decent distance, which that does not change the fact that all of the students at fault were not paying attention and going too fast.
