You dont hear a word of arguement from me against reflectors. The DOT reflectors on the trucks has given me advance warning in very poor weather in time needed to either brake down and extend the time needed by the spotted vehicle to clear the freeway intersection and in another case make a full stop decision even before the rest of the blocking trailer revealed itself in the headlights of my own rig. Twice those stripes saved my own life and I have no idea how many more are saved.But given the knowledge of the local kids about trains, certainly there might have been a moment's lapse of memory of the driver because of the thrill, adredenaine rush of the stolen joyride and all of that action going on from the others inside the vehicle. That is why I stated that the driver is not trained or licensed to operate a vehicle.Im half tempted to conclude that sufficent damage is done from the destroyed lives, lost futures and smashed and damaged outlook on life for the survivors I say just prosecute them, pass the punishment and move on.Until the next set of 4 kids steal a vehicle and get killed some time in the future.We live in a land that is a free land. A set of keys is easy to get to, particularly if there are children who have mental plans to take the keys and go for a joyride.We should be thinking about interlock technology and satellite GPS technology to enable parents to code in a lock out so that the vehicle cannot be started while at night and inside the driveway until one of the owners specifically does a positive action like a fingerprint scan. The GPS would come in as soon as the kids are discovered missing, track the vehicle from home down to 50 feet, kill switch the engine remotely and pass the information to Law enforcement similar to a LO-Jack to recover and serve against the offenders.But all of that stuff is deemed too complicated and unnecessary for private vehicles. Yet we live with that all the time in trucking.
