My youngest daughter (who had been racing since 13 with several championships) drove a 11 second C5 corvette at age 15 (learners permit) to 19 on the street and never had so much as a ticket, but she grew up around performance cars and the respect for the dangers involved. She did put it into the wall once at the track (and she fixed it) and at 16 crashed her dragster at 173mph (won the round but crashed) when she hit fluid after the stripe but never had an issue on the street. At 25 she is one of the better known female drag racers in the Eastern US.
It is all in the kid and how they are raised....for every story like ours we see dozens of irresponsible idiots getting killed.
