It's not the cars fault. It's the parents. My lad is 16 and drives my 540 BMW, 944T and my 928S. He has own car, a Holden VS Commodore. Yes I let him drive my cars without me. We have been to the track several times and he has learnt how to control a car and how to avoid getting into stupid situations.
All children should learn to how drive correctly. Being able to stop, go, turn and parallel park is not driving. Learning to drift should be a mandatory part of learning to drive. Not sure about the States, but here we always see kids in trees after exiting a bend. You can see by the skid marks that they've done the old tank slapper thing. Had they learnt how to control a slide, or even better, how not to get in one in the first place, they'd probably not have crashed.
Another sad story for the families involved.
Might also point out that I feel my lad is safer in my German cars than most other cars.
