It's always funny seeing these people with more money than sense getting their comeuppance.

However, someday they're going to kill someone, and restrictive laws on super cars will come into place.  The manufacturers need to get ahead of it, and enforce driver training on purchasers, of new AND used cars.  Otherwise they're going to find they have no market at all.

Calman:
Personally, I would make it mandatory, that in purchasing a vehicle which is capable of a certain top speed/bhp, the owner should be eligible to sit an advanced driving test and obtain a road car "super license" of sorts ... or something along those lines.

Best Regards,
Cal :)

Warmwater:
In my opinion a major reason that inept drivers make overly bold decisions, exposing themselves (and others) to painful and expensive "accidents" is that they feel invincible because of all the safety features in modern cars. Padded dashboards, air bags, anti-lock brakes, etc. give a false sense of security. A far better system would have a sharp spear on the hub of the steering wheel instead of an air-bag!

Dare:
I think the main trouble is too many horses for the inexperienced
drivers. These cars get away from you in a second. Like Jeri I think
classes should be mandatory. Seems like the insurers would make
it part of getting the insurance
