No doubt.  I risked my and my friends' and strangers' lives many times 
in my teens, mostly just driving too fast.  Not reckless and maniacal, 
but too fast to stop if someone pulled out of a side street.

6 months after high school graduation (my first quarter in college) a 
couple of my 18-year-old friends from high school died in a car 
accident.  One lived on my dorm hall, and was home for Christmas break 
when it happened.  It was very upsetting.
