It's bad enough that getting a driver's license is incredibly easy here, and most drivers promptly forget everything they learned in order to treat the public roads as their private racetracks.
All that is made worse by the ones that get vehicles (any kind, cars, trucks, and bikes) that were originally designed not just for speed, but for racing. Crotch-rockets were designed for racing. Period. They have zero place on public roads, even deserted ones. Public roads aren't built or designed for racing, but racetracks are. What's wrong with people being required to take it to a track if they want speed like that?
Build some tracks like the VW test track in Germany, where they have one part of the track that's 5-miles long in a straight line. Build an American version of the Nuremberg Ring. Then they can kill themselves and each other with impunity, and keep it off the public roads.
