A Police accident investigator says that there is a definite increase – at a rate of 20% a year – in a type of vehicle accident, generally fatal. It is that the drivers lose control on corners, at high speed. Nearly all are young men, often alone. The Policeman thinks amusement arcades are to blame. A common game played by kids – from quite young ages – has them "driving" a "car" along a winding "road". It’s pretty realistic. They sit at a steering wheel. The action takes place on the screen to their front. Their aim is to get through the chicanes as quickly as possible. Being young blokes, they’re competitive, so beating a mate’s best time becomes the real aim. Naturally, they run off the road form time to time. No sweat. Press the reset button. So they carry into a real car little sense of the real danger associated with high speed cornering. As I wrote about in Fit to Fly, they find their limit by exceeding it – and crash.
