What really needs to be done is teaching young drivers how to really drive. We simply teach them rules, which they promptly ignore, and send them out without knowing what the limits of the machine are, how to take them to the limits and control them, and what to do when things go wrong. At my first high performance driving school, the instructor said, "Racing means demanding 100% of what your car has to offer. Emergency driving means demanding 100% of what your car has to offer. See what I'm getting at here?" I wholeheartedly agree that young drivers should not have high performance cars, and no one, young or old, should ever race on the street. But we also need to teach people how to really drive.
