He probably could.  It seems to be a theme among teenage boys . . . they can handle the curves that take lots of consetration, but they can't seem to handle straight roads.

I had one wreck as a teenager . . . I rolled a 64 Buick LaSabra over in one of the longest straight-aways in Walker county.  Me and the two guys with me rolled it back on the wheels and kept going . . . that thing was built like a battleship!
