i'd like to see the stats for modified vs turbo vs SUV crash rates in regard to teens... obviously teenagers have a higher percentage of accidents (that goes almost without saying) but there is more that goes into it, i'd like to see the statistics of FATAL accidents in regard to age, because older people are less likely to get into the small fender benders that happen do to lack of experience behind the wheel, of which teenagers are notorious for, which would also sky rocket their statistics for accidents over-all...
please dont generalize all young people because you believe that only a handful of them are fit to drive a modified car, i have owned a few cars that i modified and have been in ZERO accidents with any of them, i paid for all of them (including my MSP, still paying for actually), and have paid for the insurance on all of them, i have MANY friends who have done the same, just because you know a couple privileged individuals who get everything handed to them does NOT mean you should put a label on every teen you see, many of us are very hard working individuals who earn almost everything we have, personally i've been working since i was 13, even longer if you count mowing yards, which has afforded me the luxury of buying things that i want... and on the other hand, i have friends who did have everything handed to them, and they are also very responsible people regardless of how much they had to work for their posessions...
