Teen caught driving 191 mph in his father's car

No, I tried to ride one once at my uncle's farm when I was a kid. It didn't go too well.
True enough, although when I was a teen, they used to show us gruesome movies in drivers ed class. "Red Asphalt" and stuff like that.

Here is one of them shown to my class.
Though I do not remember it being that long....
That series is famous among gore fans. They started making those films in the '50s or '60s.

Everything along the 40 between the 15 in Barstow to the 35 in Oklahoma City is a lot of empty road, lol.
If you're not constantly driving them, they tend to go wherever they decide they want to...but if they're pulling a load and you don't keep them going, they tend to stop...
they also showed us Reefer Madness...
That wouldn't be so bad, if they stopped when the driver is drunk. It's better than crashing into a barn.
More likely they will stop in the middle of a road...

Yep. And he might have to take the feared "idiot test" before he can take a drivers test. The so-called idiot test is a psychological assessment to tell if you are mentally stable enough to be allowed to drive a car.Where I live the kid would lose his licence, get an enormous fine and be made to take his test again when his ban was eventually up. And if he was not insured for the car his old-man would get nicked 'n'all.

Yep. And there was little difference if I was drunk or not. The horses on the other hand wouldn't start work if they hadn't had their beer.

Wow! OK...... very good.
Actually, in UK he'd probably get zillions of hours of community service as well.
We don't think that high speed on public roads is funny or exciting any more. Our press would write up the incident as 'moron kid drives fat cat's car to the crusher'.
We have our own cork screw in the road close to our village. Very similar to Laguna Seca although i have never driven it. A slight rise, fast right to finish the rise followed by blind adverse camber left that drops rapidly about 6 metres. Get it wrong and you and up dropping into a field. I would not try to take it at more than 80kph. Luckily the speed limit here is 80kph.
When i lived in the UK, 3 or 4 times a year hubby and i would take ours cars to various tracks. Really good fun.
On a holiday to Germany i did the Nurburgring in under 8 minutes in a borrowed Zonda R and under 9 minutes in my XKR.
I wish we had something like that here. Our driving tests are so incredibly easy.

Our driving tests may be a bit harder (and lot more expensive) but you are only send to the psych evaluation by a judge and only if there is serious doubt of your mental stability. That doubt comes up routinely with multiple or very serious DUI or extreme reckless driving. (Though an acquaintance of me got there for parking tickets (over 100 in one year) and another for drug use (even though not while driving). Constantly disobeying rules is seen as a possible sign of mental instability.)
