    You don’t need a fully developed brain to understand that intentionally driving into a brick wall at 100 mph will have severe consequences.

        Not being fully developed ≠ nonexistent

        We shouldn’t remove all consequences for your actions until you turn 25. Young people are a little dumber, but they’re not infants. They should still be able to think for themselves.

        How much of that do you need to assess whether driving into a brick wall at 100 mph is a bad idea. How did this person even stay alive until 18?

      I’m sure she did understand, she probably didn’t think she’d survive, though, so any consequences of that possibility probably didn’t occur to her at all.
