    When I was in college in NY right around the time of Celine’s murder, my group of girl friends used to attend a lot of concerts, go out to college bars and other local establishments and generally just go to where the fun was. We travelled. It was very common to see other college friends or other young girls/women accepting rides, going off with men, etc. I grew up with one of my parents in search and rescue who was a first responder, so I’d really worry about people. Anyway, we got a group together that would tell any man picking up a girl we had to see his license and his plate number. We’d ask as a group in a flirtatious manner. Often some of us were too drunk to even remember the license plate numbers or license info but these guys didn’t know that. Of all of the people we ever asked only two refused to provide any info. But of all those that provided the info nothing ever happened. I often wonder if we helped save any girls while still not infringing on their choices? Most of the guys took it as a funny way to prove they weren’t serial killers! It was almost a joke but also serious. I wonder about the two that wouldn’t let us see their vehicles or picture ID’s! When they refused the girls they were with didn’t go off with them. I swear you can never be too careful, and while this didn’t guarantee anything, It did put people on notice!

It is the basic exam that you take before leaving school in the UK, if I remember correctly it had five grades, Grade 1 allegedly being equivalent to the at the time higher 'O' level certificate but it is a bit dubious, a grade4 or 5 I think was classed as a fail with three being the average.
