In what was presumably a bold political statement against public transit and the transit lockbox bill making its way through Albany and nothing to do with getting the hang of accelerating, a teenage driver steered his father's Mercedes SUV into the Nevins Street subway station in Downtown Brooklyn yesterday. A deli worker nearby tells the Post that "I was ringing up a customer, and I heard this boom." The boy also knocked over a line of bike racks, striking a blow for all those who believe this is a Car's Town. It is possible, however, that the teenage driver just sneezed at the wrong moment.
The boy's father was in the passenger seat, and one passenger was taken to the hospital for minor injuries. New Jersey requires teenage drivers to affix a small decal to their license plates to alert police and motorists that the drivers are still learning. In a similar crash last summer, a teen driver plowed into a Long Island sex shop, presumably to support women's reproductive rights.
