Are incidents of Youth and drunken driving increasing?

Undoubtedly. Generous(read unlimited) allowances,parental habits, extensive influence of TV, easy availability and peer pressure has made kids uncontrollable in this Habit.We had two Karnataka Putra Ratnas(they should have been so awarded in this golden year jubilee of Karnataka) misbehaving disgustingly illegally in the news recently.If anyone had any doubts about why this happens, the complacent explanations of the parents- Bidapa and Kumaraswamy should have given us a clue why. A public reprimand could have done wonders to the spoilt ill behaved brats.Kumaraswamy even had the gall to compare the creepy son to Mahatma Gandhi. That takes some audacity in the face of adversity.
