It takes time to learn the car and get used to the way it drives under various circumstances.

Just because you have been driving a long time or are very experienced in the car does not make you immune to the laws of physics. Nor does it prevent the unexpected from happening on the open road ( a deer jumps out of the woods, a tire blows, a pothole, etc.)
Driving fast is dangerous for anyone. Driving fast on public roads is much more dangerous than track events where some of the unexpected occurrences are reduced or eliminated and where there is both personal safety equipment and ambulances standing by.
I'd say about 90-100 is all I am comfortable with on public roads.
To say to young people, "don't drive fast. I do but I know more than you" is foolish.
