I’m always concerned when I see an accident involving a teen driver. Investigators aren’t always able to set aside their bias, and sometimes they jump to conclusions instead of actually looking at the facts. That’s often when independent investigations can come in handy. If authorities do take the investigations seriously, then independent investigations can help reassure a family the situation is being handled properly. Otherwise, if authorities didn’t give the crash the attention it deserved, independent investigations can step in and pick up the slack. That way the family knows the full story is being told fairly.
