Sunday, Jan. 7, 2001 LAW AND ORDER Two brothers killed at home wo day found in the shot half-brothers to Marietta death were home Saturthey shared. The two men were identified as Abdur Rahim Robinson, 24, and Yasiah Robinson, 20. The two victims shared the same father but had different mothers, police said. They were found dead about 5 p.m.

after a relative went to their Teens: New restrictions proposed are first step Continued from BI involving young teen drivers occur before midnight and very few occur between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. "In a sincere effort to prevent these tragedies, legislators are missing the boat on the hours of restriction," Foss said. "Better to take it back to 10 p.m. because most crashes young teen happen between 9 p.m.

and midnight." Indeed, the newspaper's review of dozens of publicized traffic fatalities involving teen drivers last year shows that nearly all occurred between 6 a.m. and midnight a time period that would not be affected by the proposed reforms. Most occurred during school hours while the rest happened as teens were headed home in the late evening from activities such as bowling or a party. In order to make the proposal politically palatable to rural legislators who oppose raising the driving age, the Barnes plan would allow 16- year-olds to drive outside metro Atlanta. Foss said other states also make driving laws more restrictive in urban areas than rural ones.

And, he said, it's a bad idea. "They are probably not aware that roads are more dangerous, with higher speeds and more serious crashes," Foss said. Barnes' initial plan to define the metro area as Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties leaves fast-growing Atlanta suburbs with lots of young high-risk drivers. These teens aren't likely to be driving from farm to market, the practice rural legislators say they want to protect. Sixteen-yearold drivers in Cherokee and Forsyth counties who wouldn't have been affected by the proposed changes died in crashes last year.

Foss and Williams both say studies haven't been able to connect a reduction in teen driving fatalities with required driver training, a measure supported by Taylor and state Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta). The plan calls for drivers to get 40 hours of training or an affidavit from a parent or guardian that they've had the same amount of time behind the wheel with adult supervision. "Testing has been looked at quite a bit," Foss said. "But the way people drive has very little to do with what they know.

People drive 30 miles per hour over the speed limit and run stop signs and they know they're not supposed to do that." The better plan, he said, is to make it difficult to move up the state's graduated license ladder if the young driver earns traffic tickets. Like most states, Georgia has a three-tiered teen licensing system that includes a supervised learner's period, an intermediate license stage and a full-privilege driver's license. Williams said he does see value in getting parents more involved with training and requiring an adult to ride with 16-year-old drivers. "The real key is to put meaningful restrictions on high-risk driving," Williams said. "You've got to protect them when they're in that stage." NEWS ley said.
