Well again, there are exceptions to every rule and statistic. But to get back on track, I think the dealer should have had someone go with them at least (if it was a dealer). Bad move on their part. Thank God they didn't hurt anyone or themselves. I mean come on, no seat belts and you're going to be traveling at those speeds?! Kudos to Ford on safety, though haha.
Not like the person from the dealer can tell you to stop or force you to really short of throwing in into Neutral or Park risking engine damage then the driver saying he was about to get out of it and will not pay for repairs......... look at the video of the 03-04 Cobra..... he kept telling them to cut it out but they did not listen......... Im sure the dealer's know that if someone really want't to just go for a joy ride they will do what they wan't regardless of who is in the car.

We've only had 2 accidents while I was in High School, one of them was between 2 parents.
I have more experience driving than most teenagers, but where I live, theirs more crappy adult drivers than teen drivers.
Wait a few more years and look back at now..... just being honest . I only had like 2 wrecks also........ it was some of the close call's that I could have avoided all together with more time behined the wheel that spooked me years later......
Everyone near the high school age think's they are great or good driver's.... everyone past that age group will agree that they felt that way also then.. it's just life.
Around here there are just stupid drivers regardless of sex or age and thinking you are a good driver often gets you hurt or in a wreck, I think I am a good driver with a lot to learn and will never know everything... and I am 26, married, have a kid, been ejected out of a car in my car seat when I was little, multiple wrecks while driving age and before, close calls with death, ect ect.

That's true. I remember seeing that cobra video though. I felt really bad for the dealership guy haha. Oh well, just great thing that no one was hurt. Can you imagine what would have happened if they hit another car?? A lot of lucky people on the road that day.

I really avoid the street racing areas these day's.... one REALLY public road has a few deaths a summer due to racing and many bad wrecks.... 90% of the people out there being stupid are younger....
People are just stupid and think it is cool to beat on something that is not their's....

Asian women are statistically the worst drivers on the road.
When I was a teen, I felt that I was a pretty good driver, and several other people thought so as well. Granted, I understood that I wasn't the best driver in history and that if I wasn't paying attention or doing something stupid that shit could go very wrong very quickly. I'll say this: I'm a good driver on the public roads, but I'm not a very good driver when it comes to car control. I find that knowing what I don't know is just as important as what I do know. I would love to learn car control, and I can't wait to get out of a FWD car and into a RWD or even AWD car and really learn car control.
however, theres no one worse than women and Asian drivers
Yes there is.. my grandpa. Hes a top contender. Old people scare the shit out of me on the road. Combine hold people with rush hour traffic in downtown cincy and I nearly shit my pants.
Im suprised that the mustang did so well in the crash also.. Thats a plus for ford I guess.

I took all my cars to a parking lot and had some fun when I first bought them to learn their limits. The V6 Camaro was easy to control since it didn't have much power.. The Trans Am on the other hand, I hope I never got into the situation where I had to avoid an accident, cause it wouldn't happen lol..

Lucky they weren’t wearing their seat belt. I know that sounds messed up, but I have a close friend that worked at the local rescue station. She said if you really knew how many times seat belts have killed people, mostly due to decapitation from the seat belt, you would never wear it. Scary shit…

Women drivers = no survivors
On the other note about teen drivers sucking at driving, alot of it has to do with the beloved cell phone. We think we can multitask at it when driving alone is already a defensive matter.
Edit:Thank god though the teens escaped with their lives
Anyway I have most young women drivers. The hot little chicks with big glasses and a cigarette in their mouth. They weave in and out of traffic worse than any young teenage man can do.
And soccer moms drive 10mph.
I think there's just an age difference and maturity level.
It all comes with the invincibility factor. Who thinks they drive the best and who think they are superior?

Now with that car... Haha even though the cabin is intact who the hell is gonna survive that crash? Well thats one mustang off the road Say goodbye to your job, mr car dealer

No one is a good teenage driver. You may think you are good and you might be good compared to other teenage drivers, however, you aren't.
EVERY driver that has rear ended me has been of a young age and always due to not paying attn.
I've taking plenty of driving classes, and I want to start taking autocross driving classes. I'm not the greatest driver, but I do not suck at it. I know what I'm doing.
I've been driving anything I could with a motor since I was 7. Believe it or not, racing little dirt bikes when you're 7 really helps later in life, because when you hit someone racing and get ran over 4-5 times, you understand, AVOID EVERYONE, DON'T BE TOO CLOSE.
The only reason I got into an accident was because the lady that hit me was speeding and I'm convinced she was on her phone, since she had it out when she crawled out of the car.
You're saying all teenage drivers are bad at driving. So, I'm just as bad as the kid that has been drunk driving on his suspended license since he was 16?

I don't know about all teenage drivers, but I know I was a terrible driver in my teens.
Me too. I have been driving things ever since I could remember, but when I turned 16 and got my license, I turned into a terrible, invincible teen driver. If I had my TA when I was 16, I'm sure I would have killed myself. Hell, I almost did it in a Saturn SCII.
