I completely agree.

My example is NOT about "self identified" "experts", but REAL experts who ACTUALLY have the skills. They also are typically very safe on the roads and know that race-like on-the-limit driving on the streets is idiocy.

The point is that people who ACTUALLY have these skills have a far wider margin of safety than the ordinary driver, and far better capability to avoid accidents. But, they will also — with that far wider margin of safety — often turn or brake with higher than ordinary G-forces.

For example, ordinary street tires and suspensions on modern cars can handle 0.9G lateral or braking acceleration. Ordinary people get uncomfortable at 0.2G lateral acceleration.

An unskilled driver approaching 0.25G lateral acceleration does risk exceeding adhesion limits and losing control because they are insensitive to inputs and feedback. In contrast, a skilled driver can turn at 0.25G all day with virtually no risk, as they are accustomed to driving at 3-4 times those Gs, and are situationally aware, sensitive to inputs and feedback, and choose lines and inputs that avoid the limit.

They are far less of a risk than an unskilled driver at 0.1G. Yet, the skilled driver will get flagged as "bad".

With deeper understanding and analysis, they could make the distinction between actual expert drivers vs overconfident idiots. But I see no indication that this will happen.
