Unlicensed teen drives off and nearly kills a man dangling from window

We all do reckless things when we are young, but the line should be drawn when you put other people's lives in danger.�

SBS's 'News8' reported Tuesday that police booked a 16-year-old, identified by his surname Hwang, who drove a vehicle with a man hanging from the back window. At the time, Hwang was without a license.

According to the report, Hwang had gotten into an altercation with 36-year-old mail deliveryman Yoon, over switching lanes. Hwang, afraid that his underage and no-license status would be discovered, tried to make a getaway with Yoon dangling from the back window of the vehicle.

When investigated by the police, Hwang testified that he drove the vehicle, which was a car rented by a neighbor, out of curiosity.
