Public roads are not a racetrack, and it's regrettable many people treat it as such. That society for some reason tolerates "spirited" driving, people using the road as their personal rollercoaster, is one of the worst lapses in our collective judgements. It probably grew out of cars starting out as toys for the rich, and the aspirational branding created around it. Allowing high speed cars anywhere (even on the twisty "empty" roads) is the main reason the public realm is now objectively dangerous. Driving should have been integrated in the culture as a solemn activity, only reserved to those with impeccable integrity and high moral standing, a true privilege in which the driver assumes responsibility for the lives of others, and accepts accountability commensurate with this duty. Ending somebodies life, injuring others, causing damage, those are the inevitable by-products of careless driving, of driving for sport. I'm exaggerating for emphasis. But driving as a hobby should be reserved to the racetrack. Just like shooting guns as a hobby is reserved to the gun range.
