But in order to hit like that he would of had to slide sideways... What I'm assuming happened is he lost control on a turn car skidded and as soon as it hit the tree on it's side flipped over and hit the roof. But what I don't get is, how can you not control your car in a situation like that

What a moron. I wonder if his seats are still good? Eh, they probably have crap in them after the kid s#!% himself when he went airborne.

^Give it time?

You may be one of the few teenage male drivers that dont drive a sports car like a tard. For your sake I hope not because that picture could be the result.

This guy should have never been in that car period.

"This guy should never have been in A car period." Fixed

100mph isn't even high speeds, so idk why the article blames the speed. Driver is completely at fault

it can be a combination of stupid at 20 AND not much experience at 20 - particularly since many 16 year olds start out with a FWD lower HP car. Age is NOT just a number when the number is 20. No insult intended, simply actuarial fact. And believe me, by the time one turns 50, his opinion as to whether 100 is fast or not has drastically changed from a 19 year old perspective. 100 while passing other cars on a public road IS fast. Save it for the track. Or at least a road with no curves and no trees.........

Definition of ignorance - Lack of knowledge or information

Guess what comes with age? Experience. Guess what comes with experience? Knowledge and information. Saying age doesn't play a factor in gaining knowledge or information is extremely... Well, ignorant. Which would make sense, wouldn't it? Seeing as how you're extremely inexperienced yourself.

100mph isn't even high speeds? Proof of my previous statement right there. The amount of times I said to myself going through college "my god, I don't know ****" is incredible. And I still do it every day. I hate to say it kid, but you don't know ****. Neither do I. But at least I recognize it.

Bro, Be glad your not a jackass like him. Zs are dangerous cars for any driver, and with the more time driving, you gain more experience. Seeing as how your nineteen if you got your license at 16, you have only had two and a half true years of driving. As you get older you drive more, meaning you gain more experience as you age, you will soon understand this with age. and 100mph on a public road is dangerous, Ive been pulled out a car at gunpoint because my friend wanted to scare me and do 122mph in his STi, even though i said save it for the track on saturday, people just dont get that if you hit a pothole at that speed, your car can disentegrate.

A degree or someone's age does not mean they know how to make smart decisions. I just graduated college and you should of seen some of the people in my classes bro. They literally just hand out degrees to anyone who is willing to take on debt (which is probably one of the factors why our economy is going to **** and will never recover but that's another story). Bottom line is you can't buy experience/critical thinking skills/etc.

You sure cant but you can learn them, and i know exactly what your talking about when it comes to those kids who just sit there and waste air and space, but i paid for my education so i took it seriously, but that wasnt the point i was making, What i was saying was that even though i am very educated, my age still shows when i am around older people because the life experiences they have had i cant relate to yet, because it hasnt happened to me yet. Its the same thing with driving, your 19 year old self wont drive as good as your 40 year old self, because you havent experienced that much driving.
