22. So is it your assertion that had an adult been driving, they could have
magically levitated the car out of the way of a truck about to hit them from behind without attempting to stop?

The age of the driver is completely irrelevant to the accident, she was at a stop behind a school bus.

If the parent had been driving and had done the legal thing and stopped for the bus, guess what . . . the parent would be dead too.

Should a 15 year old be driving? Nope. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with this accident. ANYONE driving that car and having stopped behind that bus would still have been struck and killed by the truck. Whether it was Mario Andretti, a 15 year old girl or 97 year old Aunt Tillie from Pensacola. They are the victims here, and no, not the victim of the parents, but the victim of an out of control truck driver.

Hell, if the mom had been driving, you'd probably be screaming that it was her fault for having too many kids and too many passengers in the car. It's a BS argument, and the age of the victims does not put them at fault.
