Default that's why when I have kids they're getting a crappy beater that can't do > 60.

Wonder if there is some technology for cars (similar to APR/GIAC programming) to limit the speed of vehicles. It'd be a great tool for parents teaching their kids how to drive, and would help to prevent things like this from happening, imo.

If kids can't control their vehicles driving normal speeds, how in the hell are they going to control it doing > 65mph. Doesn't matter how good the car is, or how good it does in crash ratings when it comes to crashes involving higher speeds.

Sad, but the reality is the kids shouldn't have a car that can go that fast in the first place, especially being 17, 18 years old. And the parents needed to kick their kids a$$ for being out that late, because I'm sure it wasn't the first time.

Very sad. I'm 6'1, but if I had ever come home at 2am or been driving that fast... my mother would cut me down before I even knew what happened. She still would.
