Panicos, I believe it is 16 in most states, I am not too sure though; when I moved back to the US I already had a Lebanese license. I do see where you are coming from, and you do make valid points. But hypothetically speaking- if his parents bought him a Nissan Tida (Nissan Versa here in the US), he would still be able to reach top speed, whatever that may be, and wrap it around a pole. His willingness to put him self and his cousin in danger by speeding rules out what car he is in. He will do it regardless. Sure maybe a car that accelerates slower, a speed governor on the Ferrari, or even waiting more than a couple of years before getting him an exotic would have prevented this. But if someone is going to speed, they are going to speed whatever they are in- take it from the guy in the 99 Hyundai Accent that passed me doing at least 100+ mph on the freeway today
