Lancs Teenager Jailed for Death by Dangerous Driving

Predictable. Not surprising. How many more times? Typical. All of those describe this story in Click Lancashire.

Just look at this next sentence, which describes what happened:

Zahid Ali, 18, was speeding in his red BMW at 9pm when he collided with a wall and two parked cars, resulting in the death of two (ages 16 and 19) of the four (the other man was age 20) occupants in Lancashire.

How many clichés or stereotypes about young (usually male) drivers involved in accidents could you get into one sentence?

Ali was jailed for 5 years, banned for 7, and ordered to take an extended test. It was bloody quickly sorted, too, as the whole episode began in March.

The sad thing is, it won’t change anything. This kind of tragedy will still happen.
