My point is that kids are kids and the largest %age of kids that get killed will be driving or riding in a car.
That was in reference to Blueez post. Just b/c she didn't teach him to "weave in and out of traffic" doesn't reduce his chances of doing so. For me, I took the BMW driving challenge/school and we were tought how to slide, spin, etc and keep control. I was also racing SCCA sanctioned events in my car when I was in highschool. What kept me safe was...
1. Training
2. Luck
3. luck
4. Not wanting to get killed.
I hit a good 140mph in a car, on the public highway, and it was nothing that a parent could have stopped. However, it was dumb as shit and I never did it again. Why? I want to live. Today, at 26, I drive a SUV and I'm a very conservative driver. I still run class 5/6 and I do it in as safe as a way as possible. This isn't any different from when I was 14 and running the Narrows of the Green or Overflow Creek.
