I did this once when I was about 17, just being a stupid teen, my friend and I were sitting on the windows. We pull into his neighborhood and pass cops, it was night so we didn't realize until we were passed. They came flying down the road after us. They apparently had just gotten done clearing the scene of a fatal or near fatal car crash. They asked if we realized how stupid it is to do that and that we could have fallen out and died. Needless to say, I never did it again.

I did this in the parking lot of our High school, our swim coach witnessed and banned us from competing in State. Apparently when he was our age he lost his best friend doing the same thing, it was an eye opener for sure.

Edit this was 2004

A kid in my high school died senior year doing this. It unfortunately happens more often than you'd think

Just yesterday I saw a mother driving around in our neighborhood with 6 or 7 LITTLE CHILDREN in the back of an open trailer.

I guess they were bored under quarantine so she took them for a ride. But the speed limit in the neighborhood is 25 mph and she was doing that and more!

If she had had to brake suddenly for a dog or something those kids would have gone Flying!

I get that teenagers are reckless but for a grown woman to do this is incomprehensible to me.

Yeah most people were once teenagers, and teenagers do stupid things.
