Horrible accident in Trenton.
And a few of our GOP legislators want to roll back speed limits, laws on drinking and on teenagers driving. :mad:

5 People Die In Multi-Vehicle Accident In Washington County
4 People Injured

TOWN OF TRENTON, Wis. -- The Washington County sheriff said an inexperienced driver, alcohol, speed and goofing off contributed to a five-car accident that killed five people.

The accident happened when a 16-year-old driver was speeding -- possibly as fast as 80 mph -- and he rear-ended a westbound car on state Highway 33 about 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

Washington County Sheriff Brian Rahn said the teenager's car then crossed the center line and collided head-on with another car.

1. Our state legislators are about as dumb as it's possible to get
and still be a vertebrate.

3. If the legislators were Dems, you would hear the righties saying this:
"The kids were already breaking the law! We don't need any more laws taking away rights . . ."
