Other than the few exceptions that prove the rule such as your self though, age is by and large a coinciding factor with poor judgement and inexperience. Even people such as yourself will always gain experience and improve their judgement of something they do over a period of time but most people don't start off from such a sensible point.

I'll agree with you on that. I'm not saying I know everything and I know there are still many things to learn at my age. After all, I've only been driving for 4 years. There is plenty more to learn. It's just for every reckless kid out there driving, there are also reckless older drivers out there as well.

Of course one mans reckless is anothers spirited.

The subtle difference in how that older 'reckless' driver conducts his behaviour may not be apparent to a younger, or even a calmer older driver, but he's had more experience and will be better practised in driving in that manner.

Once financial realities and life responsibilities kick in most guys calm down their driving. One thing that is quite common among drivers of a more spirited nature is lack of financial and family responsibilities. It's been almost like seeing a switch flicked in some of my friends who now have mortgages or children how abruptly their driving changes.

This.

My dad always said life comes into perspective when you start paying the bills.
 
Seems? That is your defence? Explain how it seems like that when all the evidence suggests otherwise.

Do you now accept that what seemed to be the problem to you is actually incorrect and it is actually young men who are the problem?

I don't need to defend anything. I have no idea why it seems like that when the evidence suggests otherwise, that's not my problem. I'm just telling it how I see it day in, day out.

What seems to be the problem to me is not incorrect either. I'm talking about my life and my experiences, this is a forum not an essay question.
