if you drive like a ***, it doesn't matter what you're driving.
tragic, but avoidable.

IMHO physical age doesn't play that much of a part in it...its all about mental maturity IMHO.....yes younger drivers tend to have less mental maturity but so do a lot of older drivers.
agree with the post above in the wrong hands any car but espeically high performance cars can be very dangerous and tragic as has been proven.

Just read it again, was the dude who died driving? Or was it someone else... it's a bit confusing.

a family has lost a son/brother/grandson/friend due to a tragic accident and all you can do is offer a big cheesy grin and say it was his own fault, get a grip of reality mate

Similar thing hapenned in Winchester several years ago. A lad took the keys to his father's TVR while his parents were on holiday. He took his g/friend out and overtook another car on a long uphill stretch, unfortunately when he pulled in he clipped the edge of the road causing the car to spin into the opposite lane and the path of an oncoming car. The driver of the oncoming car was killed. Both the lad and his g/friend were ok, though he was later jailed. It emerged that the g/friend had pleaded for him to slow down.

When I give my mates a lift they're always wanting me to show them what it can do, and I can honestly say I've never once done that. Maybe drop down a gear on a clear straight, but that's as far as it goes.

Allbeit a poor one. I would agree with your original statement had it been the driver which was killed. If you can remember what is was like to be 18 and you ever had the chance to go out in your mates scooby you would understand. I believe they call it peer pressure.

the young lad has payed the highest price allready, and just for getting into the wrong car at the wrong time
if you have 1st hand experience of joyriders then I am truely sorry

The reason the passenger comes off worst in most cases is because it is a natural reaction of the driver to steer away from an impact that will hit the driver first. I learnt this from a course i did. Its a shame but true. So that might be worth thinking about when driving like a ***.

Stobie pole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When you have these for street furniture, care is required.

I'm old as c.o.b. will confirm, but I never go over about 90 % of what my car/ability can manage with anyone else in my car. On my own is a different matter, I have been close to situations where a young driver has died as a result of "racing" and it is ALWAYS a tragic loss.
