Just like you can take a written test, prove you can navigate a parking lot at 10 MPH, then go hop on a 200+ HP missile of a sport bike and hit the public roads.

The cynical Libertarian in me immediately thinks of Darwin and personal accountability. The progressive Liberal in me thinks of a tiered driving system with track time requirements and higher consequences for infractions as you move up the automotive ladder.

I definitely think there should be Hp to weight ratio limits for operators under a certain age (maybe 25), unless a set of more stringent driver's training obligations have been met.
