I was actually asking legitimately because text has no tone but since you took that course.  Common sense tells you that the more independently operated entities you place in a confined space you increase the probability of collisions but since you like mocking stats here are a few:

“According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drivers aged [B]16–24[/B] were involved in 22.8% of all accidents in 2021. Drivers aged 25–34 were involved in almost as many accidents—22.6%—and no other age groups were involved in nearly as many crashes.”

The two largest accident prone groups by a large margin.  More fun facts … the NTSB has accident records going back to the 30s and what they found is per capita (10,000 accidents) that from 1937 to 2023 they were able to reduce the rate by 95% per capita.  However there are far more fatalities in spite of that … why because there are exponentially more accidents to deliver the fatality count.  Their conclusion?  As more cars take the road you have more accidents … I know novel thought.

In my opinion it’s a bad idea and it would have been a bad idea for me to have a car like that at that age.  I have learned much behind the wheel.  That also doesn’t mean that in spite of sentiment I am thrilled for the kids and want them to have loads of success.  I just hate seeing what has happened to young athletes (even pro) in accidents that could be avoided.
