Considering most traffic laws, how is it legal to sell/own a vehicle that can far surpass legal limitations?(Details.)

Personally. I LOVE going fast, and I would hate it if I couldn’t.
I will admit to being extremely reckless, and doing things I now consider “dick” moves. I had several motorcycles, and cars, that were pretty fast. Some, kind of ridiculous.

Recently. KC Chief’s WR Rashee Rice, was involved in a 6 car accident involving two vehicles that belonged or were rented by, Rice.
At this point, there is dashcam footage of the wreck, where two vehicles seem to attempt wild maneuvers through traffic. Their efforts resulted in a chain reaction, involving 4 other vehicles. I do not believe that anyone was seriously injured.

Raiders WR Henry Ruggs ran into a car, with his corvette a few years ago. The woman, and her dog, were killed. Ruggs, is in prison. He was allegedly exceeding 120 mph, at the time of the crash.

Motorcycle fans already know, they possess elite acceleration, cornering, and some have top end speeds in excess of 160 mph. The Hayabusa, used to boast a 198 mph top speed, FACTORY. That was 20 years ago.

There was a minivan and three other cars involved with Rice’s incident. It could have been a mass casualty event.

It’s apparently worse now, because people who consider themselves “content creators,” film themselves doing impressively stupid things. Then post it online.

I understand that ANYTHING can be abused. But this seems like the argument against certain firearms. In that it is the “potential” for destruction that is the factor in legalities of design and function.

Tesla has some really heavy, really fast cars…

Many of these vehicles can compete with, or straight outperform Police vehicles.

I love these vehicles. But. Why is it legal to have such things?

Am I too old?..

Should you have to be 25, to own an elite vehicle?
