you can drive down any street at 100kph in an old Volkswagen or Ford Fiesta and hit a tree and die. Power is not the problem. Lack of education, respect and meaningful laws are. Also, it should be mandatory to be taught professionally,not by your parents etc. Casey Stoner was winning international motor cycle races at 16. To deny him the right to drive a turbo Golf for example would be ridiculous. Disabling mobile phones in cars (we have the technology) would be a smarter thing to do by legislation.
