I can definitively say that even though I took HP Driving instruction as a teen, I thought I was the cat's ass as a driver. I look back, and I was an idiot, and certainly am not a shadow of the driver I am today. Heck, I still am an idiot, but I still take instruction, and am still learning. Btw, I'm an instructor myself, but know my limitation a LOT more. When you're 19 (or 21, for that matter), the "limitations meter" doesn't register too well. Now, you may think that your meter is working fine, just as I did, but FF 25 yrs, and look back. Guarantee that you'll agree.
Not trying to be an "old bastard talking down to kids", but just sharing what any of the older drivers here would say.
That doesn't mean that I agree there should be legislation against hp/age, but it does mean that if you fall in the demographic of the person who was killed here, you do think that you're a better driver than you actually are. (otherwise you wouldn't be going 100mph in a Solara in a residential area)
