Based on the car fatalities we've had here involving young teenagers, I can't help but think that the school officials and police officers were right in using this scare tactic. I know too many kids who have no regard whatsoever for their life or the lives of others that they need to be scared like this.

Calif. school defends DWI shock tactics
Students were told classmates had died in car wrecks — they hadn't
OCEANSIDE, Calif. - On a Monday morning last month, highway patrol officers visited 20 classrooms at El Camino High School to announce some horrible news: Several students had been killed in car wrecks over the weekend.
Classmates wept. Some became hysterical.
A few hours and many tears later, though, the pain turned to fury when the teenagers learned that it was all a hoax — a scared-straight exercise designed by school officials to dramatize the consequences of drinking and driving.
