lets go back to the beginning. alot of younger people think that because theyve got an impreza,(note not a turbo mentioned), or any other 4 wheel drive performance car, they are invincable.
" it sticks like s**t to a blanket" is often the quote. "you cant loose it, no matter how bad a driver you are" ive heard quoted before.to SOME, not all people, these sort of sayings go straight in and thats there limits. i agree its not just the under 25s that take the risks, but you do see it quite often.

i think on page 1 what tony burns says sums it up quite well.

its just the same with the HGVs past your test with an unloaded trailer and off you go mate. its not the same as a 38 ton artic loaded.

This thread is about another fatality - please show some respect. The topic is not about who is or who isn't a safe driver!!! If you want to discuss whether young drivers are safe to drive a performance car, please start a thread elsewhere!

My respect to the family and friends involved. I am new to this site and don't know the people but they are in my thoughts and prayers.

But ScoobywagonGl any incident like this affects all of our insurance premiums, even if only by reputation. That's why on a Subaru enthusiasts BBS these incidents get discussed more than Nova crashes.

Also there is a big difference between a 30 yo driving in a manner that you consider could lead to an accident, and driving in a manner that has caused a fatac.

Sincere condolences to the family of the dead girl.
