MG, I drove all over the place as a kid but never on I-10 in New Orleans with my drunk grandmother. Bet the 10 yo's mother is in prison and he doesn't know who his daddy is.

We moved to NO when I was 11, and you don't want to know the list of tricks we tried before we turned 21.

That said, the few run ins we had with the law were, in fact, beneficial. Of special note is when we ran the red light while drunk and got t-boned by one of NO's finest in a yellow Cadillac. And then there was the car chase with the off duty officer in the Porsche (he was in the Porsche, I was in a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme ... I caught him, boxed him in, and my compadres in the other vehicle made good their escape. My brother got caught later when he drove the Cutlass by the same fellow's house later that night. A high-speed chase ensued from Metairie to West End Park, at which time my brother talked his way out of it with only a warning.) The t-boning by the Cadillac was the end of the Cutlass Supreme, a beautiful and fine car, but I was once passed while doing 100 mph down I-10.

I'm not saying that the players in this recent NO incident should not receive the legal consequences they have coming. I'm saying that we shouldn't be pounding our chests and shaking our fingers because we've all done stupid and dangerous stuff.

the best part of that story is NOT that the 10 year old was driving while the adults were drunk...it is that there was also a 15 year old passenger IN THE CAR. Was the 15 year old hammered too? *** wouldnt you have the 15 year old drive instead of the 10 year old?

Thats what I was thinking!! I too drove my dad back and forth to Mass on Sundays from age 9, on the weekends that mom was working. found out years later mom had no idea,I blew the driving test away when I turned 15 though..this was in the 70's however.
