Bull. I know you're trying to equivocate, but physics and vehicle dynamics just don't agree.

Vehicle dynamics have nothing to do with the inclusion of outside variables. If you completely strip all outside variables (basically racing in a vacuum), sure the straight line is inherently safer. But this isn't a vacuum. And the argument of inherent safety due to vehicle dynamics is completely invalid.
 
Of course it's valid. The simple fact is that if you're going 50 mph down a city street, wildly sawing at the wheel trying to get the rear to hang creates a SIGNIFICANTLY greater chance of catastrophe than driving in a straight line. I'm not saying street racing is OK by any means, but it's not this type of insanity.

Nonsense. Simply stepping on the gas and going straight is JUST as dangerous! :troutslap:

But what if the car was powered by a jet engine, and it was on a conveyor belt..... ahhh nevermind.
