The smart phone app Snap Chat has been sued by the victims of a crash where an 18 year old crashed her father's Mercedes into an Uber driver's car at 107 MPH, after reaching speeds of 113 MPH. Snap Chat has an app that help drivers track speed and they say it helps contribute to reckless driving. Apparently this is not the first incident/accident where this app was involved.

I'm still personal responsibility on this. The teen driver/her insurance company need to take responsibility for her reckless and ignorant driving. Dad has to take responsibility for letting his immature and reckless daughter use his powerful vehicle. Plus it's a Mercedes, sue the pants of the entire family I get it. But a software app company or third party?
 

This child is our future...humankind is doomed. " Let me see how fast I can go so I can post my speed, what could possibly go wrong"...I would say that app has got to go but no Snap Chat was not responsible. I've told my kid a zillion times, when you're driving the phone goes in the trunk.

That's right. This is basically a case of distracted driving. I understand the family wants somebody to pay but that's what insurance companies and lawyers are for when it comes to drivers, cars and owners.

It was someone's child. So they want to blame anyone, everyone, for this. It's apparently a natural parental reaction. You want somebody, something, to blame. I'm not condoning this. But then I'm not a parent.
 
Why would anybody want to make, buy, or drive a street car that will go that fast? Off the track, what's the point?

For that matter, on the track, what's the point? But that's a whole different thread ...
 
Sounds like she's trying to lay the blame off on some one else so she won't have to pay so much to the poor guy whose life she totally changed with her careless act of recklessness.
