I'm fairly sure I could kill someone in my 1.2 Corsa, I don't need any NOS.
It's not the weapon, it's the person pulling the trigger.
Who remembers hearing about the lad that got an AC Cobra for his 17th birthday and then died later that day, I seem to remember another 17 year old lad in an M5 aswell. None where modified but the drivers were obviously not able to handle the power.
In the past I've done stuff that could've lead to serious injury if not worse, it wasn't purposely, it was through a lack of experience but at the time the only modification my car had was an alpine headunit 
People really do need to remove their blinkers

I'm with you on this. Look at my pug for an example. It will be due it's first mot when it hits 70k or there abouts hence it will be traded in just before 
I've spent no more than £300 in servicing and tyres in the 40k miles it has done so far. If it was unsafe to drive then i'd be first at the garage to get it sorted though.
Had a clean bill of health at a pug dealer last week which i was very happy with!
I've got to decide whether to get another run around or something with lower mileage when i come to get shut. I don't do as many miles now but it's still twice the average driver

At the end of the day, what that article says is that all young people crash because they all have NOS.
Better go and remove my kit then...

Doubt it would get a 0-60 time before it blew up!
Some lad down our way "apparently" had nos to one horn button and his horn to the other. On a roundabout he got cut up so went to slam his horn down but accidently hit nos and flew himself into a lamp post

''An extra 200 horsepower'' - Most youngsters I see driving 'modified cars' are lucky if their car has even 60-70hp never mind an extra 200

How many people actually run with NOS though? I think its mostly used now in with Meth injection for Turbo'd engines these days.
And I like how the writer didn't mention its not a constant power increase, its usually on a button.
