Shows the 16 year old new driver trying to part in a lot, smashes into the taillight as she's trying to pull in, then she backs out, smashes into the car behind her.

C'mon Paul, why do you think this tool proposed in the original message of this thread that people going *20* over should do hard time? She didn't say 16 MPH over, did she?!?!!
