The Teenage Driver Stereotype Lives in Thomas Pravongviengkham

We, the undersigned, are scared and tired of the driving high jinks of Thomas Pravongviengkham and hereby ask him to stop driving any such vehicles that require hand-eye coordination and/or common sense. This includes mopeds, scooters, bicycles, and any other vehicle(s) requiring the use of one's feet, hands, eyes, ears, and/or brain.

Thomas Pravongviengkham is further hurting the stereotype of teenage drivers. Doctors have diagnosed him with a disorder that prevents him from driving in a cautious manner. This has resulted in inappropriate contact to other vehicles and objects with Thomas's own vehicle.

Thomas Pravongviengkham has been behind the wheel in four such transgressions which resulted in the damage of his vehicle and/or any objects/persons in the surrounding area:

1. His first accident, perhaps his only true accident, resulted in the total destruction of his RAV4. This was for the best, however, considering Thomas no longer had vehicle to drive and he could no longer endanger the lives of humans and/or animals.

2. While Thomas no longer had a car, this did not prevent him from getting into accident's with other people's cars. The next mishap, while less on the severity scale, is unknown to the Pravongviengkham family. Being the excellent driver that Thomas is, he felt it was unnecessary to pay attention when parking his mother's Lexus in the garage. Consequently, the tail light broke and there is gaping hole in the garage, which Thomas cleverly covered up with blankets and lawn chairs.

3. Having to pay for the damages of the tail light and having to keep the awful secret of the "hole in the garage" deep within his heart, one would infer that Thomas's driving days were over. However, while getting his friend and himself lost in Barrington, Thomas was stopped by a red light. Thinking there would be no train, he decided to just stop on the tracks. Sadly, warning lights flashed and the gates smacked directly onto Thomas's mother's Lexus causing minimal damage. Sensing the danger of an approaching train, Thomas floors it and drives onto the sidewalk killing twelve pedestrians. (Actually, I was kidding on the deaths. No one was injured, except Thomas's fragile mentality)

4. With the nightmarish incident stated above, one would almost be positively sure that Thomas would have developed a fear of trains. He did. But this did not stop him from driving. Upon returning home from being rejected to upgrade his cell phone, Thomas describes the following incident as a "window or something fall[ing] down right in front of my mom's Lexus." This so-called "window" shatters and traversed over the Lexus's hood and bumper, hurting the paint job of the bumper as well as the souls of millions of children and animals alike.

Thomas Pravongviengkham is only 17 years of age and does not have one year's worth of driving experience. As I write this, Thomas will soon celebrate or rather cry over his one year anniversary of obtaining a license. As a reward for having driven so long, let us, the undersigned, show our concern for the well-being of Thomas Pravongviengkham and human-kind.
