Adults


Comment below to add your name to the list of supporters of ForCarol and our goal of raising awareness of teen speeding (and other unsafe practices).

I am moderating the posts, so there will be a delay.  It keeps the idiots away.

++++++

We support ForCarol and the need to raise the awareness of, and work toward solutions for teen speeding and other unsafe practices behind the wheel.

We will NOT stop curfews, or being tough with our kids until they are true (by biological brain formation) adults (23 to 25 years old).

  1. I support this as a mom of three boys, 5, 3, & 20 months. They are at an increased risk to engage in behavior like this just because they are male. I have worked in the insurance industry and know about the statistics. I see kids driving next to me all of the time; speeding, texting, on their phones, changing cds, talking to friends etc. I am afraid of the day my kids get their licenses.

  2. My heart goes out to the families and friends . What a tragedy. I also have four children and one will be driving in just a couple of years herself. We all need to bring awarness to young teen drivers. The texting while driving and speeding is out of control. Thank you Mike for all you are doing. You have all of our support.

  3. One can tell from your postings that Carol was a beautiful, funny, intelligent person. The loss of Carol and her friends is great and their parents and friends, those who loved them, have our sympathy. I hope that they experienced a great deal of happiness in their all too short lives. Clearly, others lives were fuller for having known them.

  4. One more comment: this site has raised my awareness! I pledge to stop speeding and texting while driving so that I may set a good example for my kids (adults). If I’m not doing it, then how can I expect them to?
    I have taken way too many chances and are very lucky to be alive. It only takes a bump in the road or a tire blowout or someone to run out in front of you, for it all to be taken away so fast.
    Please help me to remember these things every time I get behind the wheel. And to also remember the tragedies and heartbreaks that can result.
    Remember, no matter how fast you drive to get somewhere, if you notice, the people you pass only get there maybe 30 seconds after you. It is NOT worth it. I have seen this so many times when following my husband to work. I will speed and it never fails, I pull into the parking lot and then watch him drive by and he never sped once.
    I also text way too much and I will pledge to NEVER do this again.
    I pledge to set an example to all who may ride with me.
    I never want to go through what these parents are going through, or have my children go through it because of my actions.

  5. I support everything you are doing. This is such a tragic story. I know my kids have taken many chances. I am happy that they are honest with me, however; I don’t have to agree with their actions. I’m just there to support them and give them my opinion and make them realize how much damage is left when they choose to do the wrong things.
    They always promise me that they really are careful and do not drive when drinking, which I’m very happy about. No matter how old they get, I will always keep the communication open. I may not like what they do, but at least I am aware and can feel the sense that maybe my words will hit them eventually.
    I am a very lucky mom to still have my babies. My heart goes out to those parents for what they’re going through. May they find some peace knowing their children will always be there watching over them.
    May they all rest in peace. They are all so beautiful.
