It does make sense, there's too many fatal accidents involving young 'uns in cars that are faster/better than the drivers skills

My Datsun 120 and Ford Cortina were lucky if they hit 70 at all

Ford Cortina - how the f did I afford that when I were a student

- in some scandinavian country (which one escapes me presently) : part of their driving test is being able to countersteer a car round a constant radius corner , on icy/slippery roads.

- no need to wonder why there is a preponderance of scandinavian fast-men driving fast-cars all over the world.

- i think 95 % of local drivers would fail that "drifting" test. The other 5% would be made up of 50% race-suited pseudo racers and 50% hoodie wearing drifters. Rest need not apply.
