dont be a d*** man, and dont group all 16 year olds together. Ya they dont have the most have the most experience, but skill and experience are two different things. When i was 16 i was never in an accident and i drifted/draged and was always better than the people with the same level of cars. So back up with the age thing man, its stupid.

Statistics are what they are, if this is true, then he is only stating the FACTS. You can't argue FACTS. Now maybe the attitude is something different, but I find my self agreeing with him. 400+ HP for a 16 year old is too much, unless he's been a racer since age 12

When I was 16 I had the exact same attitude you do. "I'm experienced because I drive a powerful car. Everyone else sucks, old people only complain because they're (insert excuse) and bla bla bla..." Seriously bro, even at 18 I know I'm not nearly as experienced as ALOT of people, and that's after a driver improvement class and an advanced driving course. The "age thing" isn't stupid; what's stupid is these 16 year olds getting 426 hp V8s and thinking they're the best drivers in the world. What's stupid are 16 year olds that cause accidents and then realize they're shitty drivers. Kids suck at driving, get over it.

Seriously... we need stricter laws about getting drivers licenses like the Germans have... kids should not be able to drive without a massive amount of training...

Not just kids, people should not be able to drive without massive amounts of training. Experience and attitude make for good drivers, not just age.

no, you can't argue facts but facts aren't necessarily the same thing as statistics. sure you can't argue the statistic/fact that if i drop a 5lb weight while in a weighted environment it will fall, but you can argue that the horrible driving statistic isn't a fact because you could take a group of 100 people in accidents and statistically 15 of them would be ages 15-20, however, factually they could be any number from 0-100 of the crashes so it isn't a fact that they are worse only a statistic. a statistic which can be caused by a small group of people who were just given a fast car without having to work for it at all and had the mentality of "if i wreck it mommy and daddy will just get me another one" but if you make the kid really work for it or work on it (more than just minor maintenance, i mean work that takes blood, sweat, and sometimes even tears) they would be more careful because if they wreck it, it's on them not just their parents credit card.
