2007 not the best start

Two new drivers. Both 17. My younger son and my older step son. Both driving home from school. Both were making left turns. Both were run into by a speeding car. Both on a friday evening 3 weeks apart. Neither was hurt. No one was injured. All four cars were demolished. Both my boys received tickets for making a left hand turn. Neither of the drivers of the speeding cars received a ticket. Neither of the 2 speeding cars left skid marks or any sign of trying to stop. But the police said they did not care if the other car is speeding - it had right of way. So every day during the last month when someone has pulled out in front of me without yielding I have said to myself. I have a legal right to broadside that car in front of me but I do not want to hurt the occupants so I put my foot on the brake and slow down.

Every day I slow down for your kids.
DON"T YOU EVER RUN INTO ONE OF MY BOYS AGAIN.
