what i said about engine limiting if you read it all i also said there are exceptions to the rule, what you have to remember is that the majority of the under 24 age group on the road are still the highest risk bracket. especially if your male.
proof in point, why else is insurance astronomically high for under 24's:
why is it insurance gets cheaper the more experience you have, and also the less crashes you have?
why is it women get cheaper car insurance compared to a male equal?
why is it that most road campaigns are aimed at the under 24's most of the people in the commercials are all male and in there 20's?
like it or not under 24's are high risk drivers, you may not be, and some of your friends may not be, but the majority of your peers are.
i'm not saying older people all driver better, but the experience tends to count for more.
if you'd lie another example i can post the nice picture up of the side of my wifes car. on sunday driving home on the A1M from a wedding. we were traveling in the outside lane overtaking 2 cars just as we were on the rear quarter of the first car in the overtaking maneuver he decided to pull out and over take as well. we travelled 3 abreast on a dual carriage way. my wife had to off road the vehicle and run about an inch from the barrier as said muppet proceeded to scrape down the side of my wifes 1 month old brand new car. we had pulled in to the outside lane a good distance back and were visible for about 1/4 mile before the maneuver. not only that but my wifes car is a huge lump. you couldn't miss it if you were blind. we are now in the process of sorting out the insurance.
the driver was... male...and ... under 24.
he didn't check his mirrors and pulled out as he indicated, which at that point was too late.
yes it could have been a woman, or an older person, but it wasn't, it took alot of effort on my behalf not to pound his head into the curb, but i kept it polite, collected the details and rang the insurers. if it wasn't for my wifes quick reaction and the fact that she didn't panic, it could have been a whole lot worse.
