Being a good road driver has nothing to do with being a good track driver.

I'm sure all the young people have good reaction times and probably a good turn of speed on a track... just as much has those of us that have been driving for >12 years.

But.

A good road driver does not get into the situations that require under/oversteering correction often. They avoid the bad situation in the first place. If you oversteer/understeer then you are driving too fast for the conditions. An experienced driver recognises these conditions well before a younger one, so they drive to suit.

If you younger people are such good drivers, then why are you drastically over represented in the road toll, pay much higher insurances and are hassled by the police more?

I used to think I was king shit too once. Then after 5-7 years of driving I realised that I'm not Rossi, Lowndes, Webber etc, and you slow down on the roads and stop trying to tell everyone how great I am.
