Graduation season is always a scary time for parents because the number of kids killed in drunk driving accidents is ridiculous.
Years ago, a mother lost her just out of high school son in a drunk driving accident. Instead of towing his car to the junkyard, she gave it to MADD. The car wrapped around a utility pole, so you can imagine how totaled it was.
Every year during graduation season, MADD gets permission from the City and County to put that car on a grassy lot near the freeway to remind everyone to be safe. I appreciate the message, although I am a little creeped out that someone died in that car.
I like madmax's idea of telling the officials their kids were killed.
