Age has nothing to do with it. I have had old guys in their 911's cut me off in my Z before, and grin the whole way. Maturity is what matters here.

The deceased knew the potential cost of his actions, and was okay with that. I am glad noone was injured who was not involved. I feel sorry for the friends and family of the deceased, as he was likely a great guy who enjoyed risky things. RIP.

Of course you have seen older people do this but age is a factor. Younger kids don't have the driving experience and often make bad decisions. Sorry but have to disagree with you on this one!

Its sad regardless. I wonder how it actually happened? Did he swerve to avoid a car or something?

Sad news. Puts all sports cars in a bad light when this happens. Ofcourse as a Titan owner also doesn't look good either.

I agree with you. If I had a son he would know he is not borrowing any of my cars. You and I were both 23 at one time and in general know what guys do or might think in some situations. I hate to say this but we have been there done that. I know you will catch some flack but statisics don't lie. Insurance companies know risk when they see the numbers. Insurance is nothing more than numbers.

Funny some have already called you out for being honest. I laughed at the mentioning of the old man in the 911 etc. Probably did happen cause some
" old " guys never grow up. LOL
