Keep the kid off the racetrack and everybody's happy. Responsible
adults do that.


Responsible adults know where they are

Responsible adults don't turn a sidestreet into a racetrack.




The fact that by choosing to fly a 172 the pilot severely limits his
ability to visually clear the airspace is fodder for another thread.


Airliners aren't known for great visibility either.


And yet they have so few MAC's. Why is that?


ATC Radar

TCAS

Big ugly airplanes are easy to spot

Not a lot of fighter aircraft flying around lost at the altitudes where
airliners spend most of their flight time.
