Well, now, you make me stop and think. In fact, I have also never seen actual proof of this stat, either. I've just been hearing it ever since Driver Training, which was a LONG time ago, and I have simply believed it. It makes sense to me that young people would drive more recklessly, but that doesn't constitute proof. What form would this proof take? Very long casualty lists? Color 8x10's? This can get complicated. But I still think this can be studied. -Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '71 VW Transporter
