You missed my point totally, so I guess I wasn't very clear.

A lack of training and experiance is not a problem when the person understands this and has the right attitude, as they will one: not try anything stupid on their own and two: seek training. It is the jackass that thinks he is above it, or doesn't need help, that has the big mocho attitude that scews up. Kind of like the guy with no legal training thinking he should represent himselt in a capital case.

However on the other end of the spectrum are the people who have the training and the experiance. They are damn good at what they are trained to do. However when they start believing they so good they no longer need to practice caution, they have a major ego or attitude problem at this point. They are just as likely to screw up as Mr. Mocho above, because they have the same attitude problem. And you can bet your bottom dolllar that when I detect this same attitude in a doctor, I look for another one with a realistict understanding of the world.

So back to the subject, anyone who thinks they can turn 500 hp loose on the streets in one of these cars, buring tires up in three gears and going over a 100 mph and that they are so good that they will never loose control, has an attitude problem and they may well kill someone. Then when they suggest that I should pay 10 times the insurance rate to cover their own a$$ when I have no intentions of driving like an idiot, it rubs me a little wrong.
