17 years old...geeez.

 

glad i have never street raced. well, ive chased my dad in his miata to like 60-70mph, but never more.

 

Sad ... and all the more reason to bump up the driving age to 18 like it is all over the world. 16 vs 18 makes a lot of difference as far as maturity and thinking right is concerned in my opinion.

 

agreed. i wanted to race a lot in my civic wen i was 16, but didnt have a liscense. when i turned 18, got my liscense, and thought "damn, i got to keep this car for a while."

 

i think drivers tests need to be more complicated and involving. My test was to take the dude to get a subway sandwich...then I passed.

 

i had to drive around a course and park

 

hmm, wow, same age is me, thats wierd.....

I just find it wierd that you get exectuted for shooting and killing someone, but if you drive and kill someone, you just get charges...

I also think the drivers test should be more difficult, I only had to drive about 4 blocks go thru main street and bring the woman back and I passed, its really to easy, I dont even consider that a test...

If they were to bump age limits I wouldn't care, It would be less money I spend on gas, and more then likely keep me out of trouble untill then..sometimes I wish they would lol, then I wouldnt have to see half the idiots around here rocket around 24-7, not even IM that BAD..

 

18 should be the legal age for everything. If you're old enough to fight and die for our country the least you should be able to do is have a beer or cigarette before hand.

 

rock on.

 

Wow, I can't believe the driver survived after seeing that video.

 

I am totally against street racing. There have been times I have opened the car up on the way home from work but its only when its late out and noone else is on the road. But anytime there are other cars on the road you have to take them in to consideration.

Kid needs to see some prison time maybe then he will learn. He took the life of one so if he survives they needa lock him up.

 

Driving tests need to be strickter and children should not be given mustangs.
There are countries in europe where they dont allow you a car over 100hp untill youve been driving for a year.

I occaonally open up the car late at night (been pulled over for it too) but only when there is literally no people on the road and even the cops were like carry on.

 

I can beg to differ, I have seen ONE and only ONE mustang driver that has a brain, he has a 2002 Mustang Convertable V6, he drives like a person with a brain that works does, its just when our friends get his keys and take off with it and almost get tickets in cars that arent even theres..

Damn, you have stupid friends. I guess they nover pick you car to take off in, eh?

 

b/c I always lock my doors when they are around and never let them in my car, b/c I know they are going to tear something up, you should see the way they drive that poor mustang...

not to mention since my dad is a cop and on the days he works he drives by the school and if anyone is in my car criving but me...id bein some hot water..

*edit* theres only one other person that I let drive my car and thats my friend josh, hes the only one with any common sense at all..
