Whether you are 18 or 30 a high powered car in inexperienced hands can be lethal. There are alot of tuners guilty of handing over highly tuned cars over to owners who shouldn't really have that power in one hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because regardless of what you say to someone that age its like dangling a carrot.I love cars and always have but you have to respect them, its always good to learn skills in an old sh*t box because when all hell brakes loose the speeds involved are manageable.I remember the first time I drove my first car in the wet 20kmph around a roundabout side by side with another car (subaru outback). Not doing anything and then snap sideways god knows how I didn't hit them or stayed in my lane. Didn't take me long to realise after that as soon as the steering got light the rear end was about to try and overtake the front of the car.I don't pretend to be an angel when it comes to driving but I sure as hell make sure that everything I do is a calculated risk. Something sensible in this incidence would of been to find a landmark along the runway as a braking marker. That ramp/embankment at the end looks savage.Still remember the pics of the monaro that was stolen out of the holding yard near my place tree +200 kmph saw the LS1 sitting 200m away from the car Edited 29/02/08 11:08 AM by 7MA61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people live through life others dont. This guy did not. I feel sorry for his family and the family opf the other kids, even though I have never meet them, I do not feeel sorry for him, nor would Zi feel sorry if I was a memebr of the forum.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hit a slight dip in the road at high speed and hit a pole. all three people died and the car was unrecognisable. this was one of a few accidents that prompted the laws of L and P platers driving high powered cars.power + inexperiance dont mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
