That is a pretty ridiculous stereotype.
Google, "leading causes of death young people" and check out the results.
After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

http://www.saferoads.org/issues/fs-GDL.htm[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In 2005, approximately 6.2 million reported crashes occurred on America's roadways. 7,431 16-20-year-old drivers were involved in fatal crashes. Young drivers have much higher fatal crash rates than other drivers and represent a significant highway safety problem. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of American teenagers.[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), young drivers are involved in fatal crashes at over twice the rate as drivers aged 21 and older. Teen drivers are far more likely than other drivers to be involved in fatal crashes because they lack driving experience and tend to take greater risks due to their immaturity.[/FONT]
No, we don't just have to "deal with it or stop". The behavior needs to stop, and those that don't want to stop it on their own need to be ticketed and fined until either all of their chase funds are dried up or their license is suspended. Hopefully they won't kill anyone before then.
Not a single one of the vehicle I had my encounters with on Wednesday had a flashing light on it as far as I saw.
edited for the sake of ST and sanity..lol
But Paul.. As for local. state. and federal laws. You are way wrong. I think you need to recertify if you dont even know the Mutual aid laws in Texas, Oklahoma, kansas, etc.. Not to mention federal law.
I am more than certified in Texas plus all surrounding states (since 2002) and by federal law in all 50 as are all Emergency Management agencies.
I do know mutual aid, we were taught that in the fire academy I also attended. As for mutual aid with neighboring states that have totally different state laws, statutes, codes and such that would be up to your individual agencies. I mentioned your situation to one of my former instructors who said it's a load of BS. I didn't say that, one of the instructors did. You may have some sort of unique situation. As far as the classes, we didn't go over state-wide mutal aid in either the fire academy or police academy, just local municipal and city type mutual aid. Be careful man, you'll get an unhappy trooper one day that doesn't believe your huff of fluff. I'm done with this sensless arguing..
