Assuming this was the middle of the night, a car accelerating to 90mph will surely make a decent amount of noise as well... Then again, turning a corner at 60-90mph will surely be rather difficult, and i hear in this case the road is particularly straight.
On this one, if the above turns out to be true, i agree with Coggy. Teenagers are indeed a danger to themselves. I too witness this day to day.
My sister personally owes her life to a skilled driver who managed to stop literally against all odds when she walked out into the road.
A fireman this time. Very quick reactions, and had taken an advanced driving course in his time...
Sad to think, that in a different time, even by a few seconds, this young lady may have just witnessed a car zoom by...
