Last fall my son, 14, ran up my ass at a stop light. We were turning right from a busy 4 lane onto another busy 4 lane, and the light was red. I responded with "WTF?" and he gave me a blank look before answering.
"I didn't know we were going to stop."
I asked him if he had ever seen me fail to stop for a red light. No. I asked him if we have ever rolled a stop sign when there were ANY cars present. No.
This was about 2 weeks after replacing his right shifter because he had turned inside his sister from behind, crashing both of them.
They can rationalize, but they don't seem to be able to think quickly.
