An 18 year old boy was killed last weekend, his birthday weekend, in a small community, walking on the road at night by another man from the community driving drunk. The driver got out, looked at the broken child, got back into his car and drove away. If it was not for video cameras that recorded the incident, he would have remained silent. The drivers parents went to the childs family to apologise and comiserate. It was their greaterst shame to have brought up such a cowardly, triffling son, who would leave a boy to die on the road. Those parents are braver than the many parents of mostly young men who kill with the weapons provided by their rich daddies, and who then lie, cheat, threaten victims, buy cops to get their son out of the consequences of their actions. This is a world full of fragile egos who should not have children.

But the basic rule of thumb is as follows... (Copy/pasted directly from their website) Definition of probationary prohibited vehicle A vehicle is probationary prohibited if it has: -- a power to mass ratio of greater than 130 kilowatts per tonne, or -- an engine that has been modified to increase performance (other than a modification made by the manufacturer during the vehicle’s manufacture), or -- been declared as probationary prohibited in the Victorian Government Gazette. This applies to all vehicles, including those that have club permits. Vehicles that were not prohibited prior to 29 October 2019 but now are, can still be driven by a probationary licence holder providing the person was issued with their licence prior to 29 October 2019.

I respect you so much Dr Grande. You never make excuses for what people do. Thank you.

[@karenhargis9824]

Sir, you are wonderful. No amount of money and apologies can replace a innocent person as you mentioned. Life is so unfair 😢

[@MKPrive]

A lot of us here in LA made comments on James’ IG. He hired a reputation firm / publicist to help delete. There were also numerous troll/sock puppet accounts defending the Khuri family under KTLA, and other KZbin videos at the time. I don’t think James has ANY remorse. That’s why he brings up the settlement, as if money is the only thing which matters, and that he almost resents getting beat (I.e having to settle).

[@Puzekat2]

Dr. grande you are correct about the role of the parent during their child’s teenage years. Every day I hope my son does not encounter a high school mass shooting event in Florida and a car accident doesn’t occur daily.

[@MKPrive]

Every time I pass the intersection on Olympic and see the flowers to this day, I think of this incident. This was a very high profile case here. Imo this is not sufficient justice.

[@alexaltrichter1597]

If I was caught speeding in my fathers 67 Ford the speeding ticket would have been the least of my worries. The old saying " there would be hell to pay" is an understatement of the century.

[@AutobahnVault]

100+mph on a 35mph zone. Father should be held accountable as well.

[@easternkiwiz]

With the law now recognising that parents do actually have an influence on their kids crimes ( Ethan Crumbly's parents), James Khuri should definitely have stood trial himself

[@rullvox5912]

If Brendan committed this crime in Texas, he definitely would have been charged as an adult.

[@shedokoye8314]

I'm not sure about that. Is it not in Texas that a young man who killed four people was let go because the judge agreed with the defense lawyers that the kid was too rich to know right from wrong? A condition they called "affluenza".

[@rullvox5912]

@@shedokoye8314 .Ya, well, I'm sure of it. The case you referenced, without giving any names, is about a judge who soon resigned afterward because of public outrage and petitions.

[@dancarlton7973]

In VA that teenage loser would have been charged with reckless driving and be required to go to court after the first traffic stop.

California is a liberal blue state. Texas is a conservative red state. That would explain the difference.

Autism and ADHD did not cause this tragedy, bad parenting did. There are plenty of autistic and adhd individuals who manage to operate a vehicle safely without this being the end result. 🙄😮‍💨

[@joshuawh]

I have aspergers and adhd, and the only time I do dumb things in a vehicle is because people are giving me bad advice that I follow because it's their vehicle. But I don't listen to them sometimes and it prevented a crash one time when I didn't listen to them.

A lot of these times electric cars, irresponsibility of the parent to are there kids highly expensive cars they don't know how to drive them safely they get out of hand really quickly you cannot hear the engine because they are so quiet they do not have the respect of a vehicle. I lay some of the responsibility on this child's father he did not do a good job teaching his child how to drive a vehicle safely especially best high maintenance fast vehicle I feel bad for the family that lost their daughter it breaks my heart 18 million does not seem Fair for a life taken. That young man needs a spend some time in jail, a car is a Lethal Weapon

[@NickKautz]

Grande is setting himself up for a hard lesson in the pitfalls of publicly criticizing/judging others. Usually it manifests in the loss of something important by the same means one has been dishing out to others.

[@lddixon2394]

The father might have everything materially but he is at heart a loser.

Insightful analysis as usual! Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

I could feel the unspoken eye roll in his father’s post about the exact settlement amount. Given how much he valued wealth it isn’t surprising how focused he was on that number and not the loss of life that he enabled.

Amen Doc! If you fail as a parent, nothing else counts.

Dr. Grande - Absolutely excellent analysis! When people like Brendan's father say they "pray"... I always wonder just who they are praying to. Thanks for covering this totally avoidable tragedy. I would bet, unfortunately, we have not heard the last of Brendan.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

This world is so disgusting. When money comes first before time served in prison. Rich people literally can get away with murder without consequences.
