Yay, hold breath while driving, faint. Smart thinking! Oh right, no thinking.

One would think that a 19 year old would know better.

Emm, ook...


I know a lot of young drivers are involved in accidents, but holding ones breath while driving so long that the person faints, even a brainless person could foresee what would happen.

Hope that idiot learned his lesson, if not, he'll become a traffic fatality.

If I were the teenagers, I'd sue the local government this is clearly not their fault. If the air was clean enough, there would be more than enough oxygen in the atmosphere for their tiny brains to operate efficiently and to stay alert whilst holding their breath. As this clearly demonstrates, the local air is too dirty with not enough oxygen in it.

I have worked with many 15 - 16 - 17 year olds that would know better.


I would expect a lot more from a 19 year old than that.

Well, you hold your breath driving through a town enough times, and anything seems like a good idea.

I live about 15 miles from Wheatland and I can say that you should be able to hold your breath for the time it takes to drive though it. In fact if you are not from around here you may not realize that you have driven though it... assuming you were going N to S, stupid kids were probably going W to E. Why whould they do that? Everyone knows you need to go south though Weatland to get to the titty bar (which is the only thing of interest in Wheatland BTW.)

Perhaps they were going E to W and got held up by a red light

"Police gave him a ticket for failing to stay in his lane."

How about throwing his sorry ass to jail for public endangerment and suspending his DL for couple years.
You are dumb as a bucket of sh*t so take a walk for couple of years.

Idiots,

They don't seem to care of others in traffic so I wouldn't care if they ram themselfs into a wall and kill themself.
