Street No Playground Teen Age Drivers’ Role Not Easy
Teen-age drivers face a broader world of activity after learning to drive, yet some treat streets as playgrounds for daredevil tactics. In Lubbock, 231 youths 15 and under and 1,300 aged 16 to 19 were in accidents last year, with juveniles composing 18 percent of local accidents. Juvenile penalties are lighter than adults, with fines up to 100 dollars for moving violations and possible jail time for nonpayment. See Teen Age Drivers Page 10.
