Rachel Berg, 18, was speeding in her brand-new Chevy Corvette on a Mesa highway about 10:30 p.m. March 12 when she rear-ended a Harley-Davidson being ridden by Michael Clark, 46, a Tempe park ranger...

Berg pulled over and tried to perform CPR on the fallen biker but he died at the scene — then told police she couldn’t stop in time before ramming the Hog, AZ Family said.

Data from her car’s airbag control module reportedly indicated that she had been traveling at 155 mph five seconds before impact and 87 mph when she struck the bike after slamming on the brakes.

You keep mentioning, "Everyone". I'm talking to you not "Everyone".

You seem to think some kid getting a car that can do 140mph as opposed to one that can exceed 115mph is going to make a difference. There is no difference. Hitting a tree or power pole at 115mph in a Civic will kill just the same as hitting it at 140 in a BMW.

It's not the car that kills, it's the driver...It's not the gun that kills but the person using the gun. Same thing.

Using guns are a perfect analogy here. Same thing. Using your argument, if a young adult gets a high end customized AR15 it will get them into "Trouble", as opposed to slower traditional bolt action rifle. That's bull shit.

Now go tell, "Everyone", what I told ya. LOL...
