18 years old is to young to drive IMHO.

You can vote at eighteen. Don't forget it is the lack of experience that is the real danger so you always have to have inexperienced drivers on the roads, otherwise they would never get any.

Agreed but i'd say experienced and naive.

As you get older sometimes you realise it's not always a good idea to drive fast.

I don't know anything about the accident but I do see enough boy racers.

We don't know if age was a contributer in this incident. In fact we know almost nothing. Best to wait for further details than to speculate.

For the cyclist, all I can say is RIP. ;)

F-ucking hell!

It's a town centre. The speed limit would have been 30. That should be a manslaughter charge.

Are those the same ones who not only like to test their skills by driving extremely fast, but also to prove their mettle by hurtling past cyclists as close as possible without actually making contact? Or in this case, finding out that there is a large gulf between perceived and actual skills!! ;):angry::smile:
