It's less regulated in the sense that just about anybody can get a
license and drive. It's more regulated (there's a better phrase but I
can't think of it) in the sense that minima are much higher. In
aviation, it is legal to do things that require skill, and prudent not
to if you don't have the skill. In driving, if it requires skill, it is
illegal. For example, it's illegal to go seventy miles an hour, but it
is perfectly legal to fly 210 feet above the ground while in clouds.

One requires special training and certification in order to be able to
legally fly 210' above the ground in clouds, however a significant number of
pilots do not have this certification, and thus are not permitted to do so
legally.

In driving, there is no training or certification one can take in order to
drive 70MPH on a 55MPH road. The limitation is for one and all. They apply
the same to me as they do to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and to off-duty Police and
Military personnel who indeed have had high-speed driving training.
