I wasn't there, but to me it's simple math. he just got the car, he just got his license, he was going around a corner, and when he gunned it, it got away from him. 10 to 15 sounds right, at the point of impact. The speedo was probably reading 45 or 50 (wheel spin). C'mon guys, don't you remeber the first time a car scared you by having more balls than you thought? When I was 14, I use to sneak out at night and steal my Dad's Buick Regal. I would drive all over for an hour or two, and come home. One night it was raining, and when I punched it coming around a corner, it fishtailed. I had never experienced that sensation before, and I over-corrected. Ended up ontop of the trunk of somebodies Caddy. It was just a lack of experience, and, in my case, thinking I knew everything (I did, too!).
Take care,
