No you may not drive an M5, and you’re probably thinking you’ve heard of people walking away from crashes. The reality is you’re not indestructible, and neither are the people around you.

I think your about as smart as the guy who crashed this M5 by addressing this post to younger members, as I am sure there are some members on here who are younger than you and probably realized this while you were at “I’ve done some STUPID shit.” part of your life and they didnt even have their licenses yet.

I agree with you that you can die anywhere going from 30 to whatever, but saying that all young people drive dangerous, is like saying all car enthusiasts street race.

Peace.
