Young kids with sports cars are not a good mix.

One step futher...
Immature/irresponsible people and cars are not a good mix.
All age groups have their share of bad drivers. In a way, I hate to see automakers building cars with features to help prevent accidents. It's not teaching people how to drive any better. In fact it could go the other way and give them too much confidence and drive harder knowing they may have a "safety net" there for them. Knowledge, good judgement and practice are the best ways.

I agree... The government and now auto-makers are spending too much time and effort protecting morons from themselves. If anything, these features are making folks more complacent.

What they are doing is preventing natural selection.
They should let nature take it's course.

I agree with nature taking it's course but unfortunately the stupid ones don't die, they kill innocent victims. Hulk Hogans son Nick may be indicted he wrecked while street racing and his best friend is still in a coma months later.......Nick however is up and around.

And we know that genetics can contribute to IQ/intellect....so, we can deduce that Nick and Brooke are not falling far from the tree.

My boss' wife was killed and his son spent months in the hospital after a street racer lost control, jumped a median and hit her head on at warp speed. The racer was uninjured.
