I know its a fact that most, and I stress most, teenagers are **** head drivers, but an ignorant post like stupid teenagers (which seems to be the most used post in this thread) is a blatent stereotype (like saying asians have slanty eyes), I could say stupid elderly (meaning 70's to 80's, which seems to be left off your chart) but I don't because I know that its not one group of drivers that cause all the accidents, yes its usually teenagers, but all ages do it

As far as the accident is concerned, glad this moron died. But feel really bad that he had to take somebody else with him. Stupid douche bags.

Wacist!!
Sexist!!
1) I reject the multiple statements of kids being the ones who wreck fast cars, people of all ages wreck fast cars, its the way of the human being, as humans we are complete idiots, we develop **** thats past us (nuclear bombs, cars, planes etc.), I understand that it was a kid this time, but what would you all have said if the guy was 27? You wouldn't have said 'punk middle aged man', its those few kids that give us all bad names yet people take it out on the whole generation (insurance, cops harrasing us just to name a couple)
2) i'm not sure how to take this statement at the end of the article, are they just saying it or are people that worried about traffic that it dampers the effect of a tragedy?

when i was 18, i didn't think anything bad would happen. i didn't think speed is that dangerous. racing friends on the freeway in the rain at 100mph with traffic and such. now, i don't even dare to get near 100. i don't even dare to drive 80mph on the freeway on clear days alone on the road at night!
Never mind.
I figured it out!
That car has great brakes and has ABS... To leave a 300ft skid mark, he'd HAVE to have pulled the ebrake as a last ditch effort...
Probably boiled the fluid in the run through the canyon and he then hit super sonic speed, hit the brakes, pedal to the floor... and in a last attempt, yanked the ebrake. ABS would've worked to get the car to a stop (or at least slow the car), and not have locked up like that.
