What makes you think that those blokes do not value their lives?...

Their age. The instinct for self-preservation kicks in around age 25
and, before that, the idea of personal death is a very abstract
concept for most.

Methinks you talketh ******** on that one.


It is fairly well documented and is a major reason why vehicle insurance
premiums are significantly higher for the under 25s. They simply don't
have the same awareness of danger.


That's always been true. But in 1985 adding a 17 year old to your policy
for an ordinary car did not cost a small mortgage!
