I dont know.. Edited 15/02/07 12:13 AM by XR06T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is probably not far around the corner..←It's already the case Blonky - they've been fitted from the BA onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

I think the police still need to get a court order to gain access to this info, but most car companies will get the ECU data and pictures of the wreck to examin real world crashes and how their cars stood up.There was a well publicised case a few years ago of a Statesman driver who fought and won against the police when they wanted to see the black box data.

If he hit at 120kph, what was he doing prior? 160kph?? In an 80 zone???? I actually never have 'runs' with P platers, women or bunky cars... Ontop of 'time and a place' sense of judgement. It's the mindset the young guys have to come to terms with and ultimatly change, and learn how bad you are on a track, by yourself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having spoken to somone in that car the driver did not brake, but tried to steer around wen the taxi come in frount..it was over in a matter of seconds. There are no skid marks at the scene.Also I'll add the driver of the car was not a Plater. Was 23 years old... It doesn't change anything but I thought I might add that seeing as people are bringing up P plater issues Edited 15/02/07 07:06 AM by andyturbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise.. I got a looooong way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a response to a comment indicatiing that the driver could have been doing 160kmph. Of corse there was a fuking problem, that's why somone was killed. Im regreting starting this thread..the point was that this could happen to anyone on the roads, and it was meant as a reminder, not to argue about the skills of young drivers and how they are all so dangerous ect.
