135. Straw man.
I never argued that wearing seat belts or blasting the stereo was safer for more experienced drivers.
The radio depends upon what the volume limiter is set at. As you point out no difference for older drivers.
I think all cars should have a seatbelt interlock. I had one that did and didn't even know it for several years.

As for speed. It is an absolute fact that *on average* more experienced drivers can recover from problems at higher speeds than inexperienced drivers.

There are roads where 80+mph cruising is fine in a modern car.
