So you’re saying the odds of a severe crash don’t go up as you give inexperienced drivers more and more powerful cars? If so the insurance industry has mountains of evidence to the contrary. That’s why insurance is so high for an 18 year old trying to insure a sports car. My first car was a Toyota Tercel, and while it would hit 100 if you gave it enough room it was a major event. And yes, I took it to that speed. Had my first car been the GTO I had now I seriously doubt I’d still be here today based on how much I pushed that little Tercel, and how I seriously doubt I would have driven a much faster car any differently. Instead of struggling to hit 100 I would have been struggling to hit 170 or what ever stock GTO’s are capped at. I didn’t have the experience to handle a car @100 at 16 (despite my opinion at the time) and I sure as hell didn’t have the experience to handle one @150+.
I’m at an interesting age right now. Old enough to have smartened up a little bit, but young enough to remember how dumb I was when I was 16.
