A 25 year old isn't in such a rush. More responsiblity. Better reflex motions.

When playing a video game, matters little if the vehicle crashes.

It has been proven both lower speed, and seatbelts cause less accidents.

(Why Texas raised the speed limit to 85 I don't know).

You have a point in a way, but I think kids text more while driving than any other age group
(of course that will change as the years go on).

But kids think they are invincible.
