Another one. Not of legal age to drink, but can smoke, opines that it is about
money. Or someone driving a mini van at 45 on an interstate. It is about
other things.
Instead of wasting bandwidth trying to make a case, why don't you go after
your age 16-20 contemporaries who are contributing to the stats, just like you
are with your speeding ticket. The insurance industry does charge more money
for younger drivers. Odds are not on your side, neither are exceptions to the
rules.
Most young people feel they are the exception to the rule. That is an axiom.
And it isn't about money. Or dungarees and T shirts. Or braces. Or Sesame
Street.
Stats is stats. Statistics. The exception to the rule can expect to be
trampled. A vast majority of first time new BMW owners are not young. Stat's
are one of the reasons fishermen don't go fishing at a water fountain.
Too bad youth is wasted on the young. Clueless is as clueless does.
