I was just talking to the Mrs about that one, what a tragedy.

Also in this morning news, 2 caught on Burwood Hwy doing 170 in a 80 zone, one was smirking and laughing as he was pulled over.

Just a heads up to play it safe on the streets guys, save the speed for trackdays and the drag strip in a controlled environment.

Sorry about your loss dude. Learn from his mistake and make sure it doesn't happend to your other friends.

by **Frost** » January 17th, 2010, 5:19 pm

The uncles and old man were on the right track on the news and if the driver was alive, he would be charged with Murder, A. The car was unregistered B.Had passenger restrictions. Sad thing for all the passengers in the car are injured and dead.

by **t1MMy** » January 17th, 2010, 5:21 pm

Frost, f*** off dude. There's someone on these forums who knew people involved and your just posting obvious shit that doesn't help the matter.

by **ed4ltr** » January 17th, 2010, 5:28 pm

cheers buddy..drove past it earlier this arvo as well,fkn crazy scene,about 30-40 cars all pulled over on the side of plenty road just payin respects..

I dun give a **** Timmy, hopefully people who know the wanker behind the wheel take a page out of his book and learn a lesson.

I have sympathy for the passengers and their families.

by **Parfrey** » January 17th, 2010, 6:00 pm

Yep you get that after dealing with to many car accidents due to "mistakes" or "fuckwits" thinking nothing can touch them. I suppose when you turn up to a car accident and see someone in your class and you talk to every day on the bus mangled more than eggs dropped on the ground and then realising they shouldn't of been behind the wheel you tend to have to harden up to accept shit like that.

by **ed4ltr** » January 17th, 2010, 6:18 pm

thanks marty.
instead of havin a dig at just steve,yeah fair enough he was wrong in what hes done,but what about his mates who knows he's on passenger restrictions.what about the one hangin out the window,they've all been in the wrong here an its tradgic whats happened.

This doesn't mean you can get on a forum and brag about how many fatal accidents you've seen and how much of a hard c*** you are coz you can "deal with it". There's a person on here who knew some of the involved. F*** off with your comments about how dumb the driver may have been etc....someones friend lost their life you cockhead.

by **bushman** » January 17th, 2010, 6:51 pm

Someones friend lost their life

Someones son lost their life

Someones brother lost their life

Someones grand son lost their life

Someones lost their best mate, some one else has lost a cousin, an uncle, a nephew.

How about it FROST, if some one took your child mate, would you be the hard cvnt your being now, or would you be willing to do anything to get them back, have a heart for the family and their friends. And FFS have some respect for the dead, because, i'm sure their are people here who'd not show you respect if you were splatterd. I reckon you should go tell the parents, the brothers, the sisters of the deceased who were killed what you think about their child, face to face. I'll bring a plastic bag to pic you up in shall i?

by **weavahhh** » January 17th, 2010, 6:52 pm

i knew matt was a sad day just didnt expect it to happen. r.i.p to everyone involved

my heart goes to the families

by **SnyperEB** » January 17th, 2010, 7:56 pm

Just viewed the horrific pics. Condolences to people who knew anyone in the car.

by **KR1STO** » January 17th, 2010, 8:10 pm

well hopefully other people will learn from this persons silly mistake...and not make them for themselves
we all make them, but it is easier to learn from others...
my condolences go out to anyone that knew them all..
its a sad thing to see...

by **[chubbz]** » January 17th, 2010, 9:38 pm

I drove past this afternoon and saw the 9 news car n stuff didnt know what happen till now thats horrible i feel sorry for the peoples families i drive past there every day and the surface is fair bad its not surprising you would stack it at 140

by **LTDHO** » January 18th, 2010, 6:37 am

Apparently it was a 'high performance' vehicle? Isn't just a BA XR6 N/A?

Are kids today learning how to drive or how to pass the licence test?

by **wicksy** » January 18th, 2010, 1:36 pm

doesnt seem like it anymore, seems like all u need to learn is to brake,turn,drive now load of shit it is, we had a crash in mackay friday night, a supra driven by a P plater spun out of control hit a traffic island doing about 120 and into someones front yard, he walked away witout injuries, so did the passengers, then was bragging about it too all his mates, afterwards,

by **Gozza** » January 18th, 2010, 1:44 pm

I actually find it ironic that half of you belted the shit through the guy who did a burnout with his kid in the car, yet are the ones being sympathetic towards a guy who , yes made a mistake , but could have easily avoided killing his friends if he obeyed the rules.

by **fordbaby** » January 18th, 2010, 3:15 pm

thanks to who ever cleaned the thread up.

yes an accident happened and it was a tragic end and im sure the people who passed away because of this horrific accident will learn from what happened.
my heart goes out to the family and friends at such an extremely hard time for them. may they rest in peace and be remembered for all the good they have done.

I dont reckon they will.

I hate it when shit happens like this. It gives the media another excuse to pick on car enthusiasts. On talk back radio today they were trying to say the penalties for speeding bitd were much harsher so no-one ever exceeded the limit. :roll:

Apparently these days kids only get a slap on the wrist. They should go to jail instead....

by **EFFalcon** » January 18th, 2010, 3:29 pm

can't wait to hear what new law they will bring in to fix things.

its not bad enough that we already get fined/confiscated for wrong doings, along with the government putting rules in place stopping people from doing just about anything, internet filter, no smoking anywhere, more drinking laws... when do we get a curfew?

I've only had my licence for approximately 2 years now. I believe the licence test is waaay too easy. My mrs just passed her test today,even she though it was easy. The tester wasn't even paying much attention to her driving

This x100.

Yes it sad for the people who know the victims, and yes we have all done stupid stuff. But this kid had already been busted buy the cops for "hooning", had 6 people in an unregistered car doing 160km/h on a two lane street, overtook a car at speed...

what did he think would happen?

That's the problem.

Idiot

But i do feel sorry for the families and people who know the people involved, tragic waste of life. All too young, its not even one month into a new year either.

My insurance company class mine as a "high performance car" i told em fark off lol it's N/A!
Its coz "XR' Means "Sports" model. i lol'd when they told me that.

Same goes with Spack comodores, Toyotas, Mitsubishi, etc etc.

Heard on the wireless that they have already rejected harsher P' plate laws.
Best idea yet would be mandatory Driver Education course's.

agreed, they should have done that last time rather than totall **** the system. however doesnt affect me now as im full licence.

by **Nikk O'lass** » January 18th, 2010, 5:06 pm

And how would driver education stop this accident?
