I compare it to giving a 12 year old the keys to a minivan and saying, "Have at it." I have had the same experience. Generally when I rider can hit 15-18 mph, they have been riding long enough to gain experience and know how to handle a bike at that speed. A lot of these riders have no clue how fast they are going or what that means.
