Why you don't hand the keys from a Porsche Cayenne to a 21 year old.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Driving a 2012 Porsche Cayenne, not wearing a seat belt, and carrying a young (belted) passenger. Recipe for disaster.

A 1980 GMC Dually, it's not.

Who does he think he is, Mad Dog?

It's not about age, it's about maturity. I could handle a car like that at 21 because I already had a healthy dose of respect for vehicles.

I wish I had had the chance to handle something like that at 21.

That said, you're correct about maturity... but I'll add to that experience. In my personal case, that was experience gained on two wheels, (really) starting around age 14. That's when I started riding my bicycle with the local cycling group. By my 15th birthday, I was doing centuries (100 mile rides), and probably riding 5 days a week.

There's something about being out there, with no illusion about being an invincible teenager, that teaches you to genuinely look and see everything going on. Situational Awareness is a must, and you quickly learn to expect everyone to do the most inconvenient thing possible for you at all times.
