THIS week's car crash on Coronation Street involving young tearaway Ade Critchley and Sarah-Louise Platt was gripping stuff.

It has shown in graphic detail just where such typical teen cockiness can end, as Sarah-Lou is left fighting for her life.

Apparently, next week teacher Ken Barlow loses his rag with Ade and lashes out. I just hope that these accurate TV mirrors on current life do not result in what tends to happen in reality: the youngster walks away smirking, and the adult ends up in the clink.
