I predicted yesterday that the driver was breaking some law. I bet she
was drunk too.

Teen Driver in Fatal Crash Had Junior License

Friday, June 29, 2007

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — State records show the driver in the crash that
killed her and four teenage friends in western New York had only a
junior driver's license, which made it illegal for her to be driving at
that hour or carrying so many young passengers in her vehicle.

Bailey Goodman, 17, had a Class DJ license, which places added
restrictions on the privileges for New York drivers under 18,
authorities told the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.

Goodman and four other recent graduates of Fairport High School in
suburban Rochester, all 17 or 18, died when the sport utility vehicle
she was driving collided head-on with a tractor-trailer in the Finger
Lakes region of New York on Tuesday at about 10 p.m. That was an hour
later than state law permitted her to drive.

According to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, junior drivers
cannot drive after 9 p.m. without a parent, guardian or someone
performing parental duties, unless they're going to work or school. They
also cannot carry more than two passengers under 21 unless they're
members of the immediate family.
