Grinding against the safety rails on a mountain hairpin is not indicative of a competent driver.

no, but that driver might just be that much more successful if they get away with it. in fact, while not a mountain hairpin as your example, there was a recent race car driver that did a similar thing by intentionally using the wall as a push back to allow a maneuver that allowed for success.

so a clever comment attempting to prove a point is not always indicative of a proven point ;-)

This amounts to openly advocating for dangerous driving, which is exactly the reductio ad absurdum in rejecting the advice to lawyers above.

That maneuver by Ross Chastain? It is banned.

No, but a winky smile after an intentionally inflammatory reply is usually indicative of someone I’m not interested in reading again. Doubly so when they refuse to use capital letters.
reading what again?
Anything you have to say, mostly.
There's a difference between having a point and having a good point. You don't have the latter.
