Tragic loss. Condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 16y 9m 27d Posted 16/01/10 11:31 PM Share Posted 16/01/10 11:31 PM A lot of stupid choices, hopefully other people take something away from this, but knowing this generation they wouldn't even care.The passengers in the car probably didn't do enough to prevent their own demise either, surely 4 male passengers being a large peer group could have told the driver to stop or be sensible and got that reaction in return.Always speak up! Don't be a wuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 16/01/10 11:36 PM Share Posted 16/01/10 11:36 PM (edited) ...agreed 100%Absolutely tragic..... :o SIX occupants, in a car designed for five....overloaded for starters.. I'll be interested to find out how old the driver was and if alcohol was a factor in this.... The car appears to be "Blueprint", which means it's an early BA,wether it's a turbo or not is not stated, but if it is, that puts it in the same category as many turbo Jap imports that can be purchased now for under 15 grand by people who just don't realise the performance potential of these vehicles and easily get out of their depth.....unfortunately, this guy has just taken four of his friends with him With the Victorian government's somewhat backward attitude to driver training, this tragedy will no doubt be used to justify even more speed cameras.....

Very very tragic, but for anyone to claim they've never overloaded there car or exceeded the speed limit by a stupid amount is either full of sh*t or the next saint in waiting.
