Makes me feel sick when I see photos like those.
My eldest daughter is learning to drive and it worries the s**t out of me that young people don't appreciate the inherent dangers in fast road driving. A car is a SOLID lump of steel, weighing upwards of a tonne, hitting anything at speed (never mind an immovable tree or lamppost) with a soft fleshy person inside it is only going to end one way, badly.
Just read thread on here today and one comment from a chap/lady was something along the lines of how he/she had a race in their MK5 with another person in a porka and beat him. So f**king what?? Keep it to the track I say and then maybe some poor parents will be spared that dreaded knock on the door.
