I did not give false information, nor to pile on. Thought everyone should at least have the facts. I merely cited the rules from the NV Driver's Handbook.

Most likely those who break driving laws, however, are not above not heeding to driver laws in general, especially when teenagers are involved.

And also, girls are usually more careful than boys as far as speeding goes, but when there is a car full of teenagers the chances are good that not a heck of a lot of good will happen.

Thought you all would like to know the rules from the Nevada driver's license handbook for drivers under 18 years of age:

-For 6 months after a Nevada Driver's License is issued, teen drivers may not transport any passengers under 18 years of age, unless that passenger is an immediate family member.

-Until a teen driver turns 18 years old, they are not permitted to drive between 10pm and 5am unless they are traveling to or from their place of employment or a school event.

Therefore, the 17 year old driver of this accident was driving illegally as are most of these teenagers on the roads at night. If the law was enforced, and parents were responsible, perhaps we would have less dead people on our streets!

Like most other major laws or community decisions in Clark County it was done ass-backwards. They build the buildings before the roads.

In this case, not only did they not properly define the law (for example a food-serving bar can still allow smoking if they have more than 15 slot machines) but there is no mechanism or proper funding and personnel to enforce the law.

Now money will go to court costs rather than to improving the health of the residents of Clark County!

Does anyone know what happens regarding the status of patients of the remaining gastroenterologists of the 14 in practice at the Gastroenterology Center of Nevada such as seeing patients? They all do tests and surgical procedures at either the Endoscopy Center of Nevada or the Gastro Center of Nevada. However, they also see patients in their own offices. My doctor is one of the 14, although not mentioned in news reports.
