Speed determines how fast you hit the Traffic Light....Power determines how far you take it with you.

ABS = spongy brakes, but you'll slow to about 60

non-ABS = lock up at 100 & skid past the roo doing about 95. But you'll look sick doing it :mrgreen:

Speed limit's 80 through there and you go down a hill, through an intersection and then up hill if he was heading south. If you're doing 80 or 90, and you jerk the wheel to avoid something or hit a bump while changing lanes in an unsteady car, that could easily put you in a slide. Don't wanna jump to conclusions aye, but yeah I my guess he was speeding too anyways. Sad loss, once again. Driver should die in crashes like these.

Sad really.

I know that road well too... which leads me to this:

Rant part 1:
If you're a fucken regular joe fucktard who would typically drive at 80kmh in the right lane of a 110 zone, then fucking learn to pay attention when you're driving. Learn what to do if your car breaks traction (can happen to anyone, aquaplane anyone?). Learn the limits of your motor-vehicle. You could be 2km/h away from death every day on a certain bend on the way to work, without knowing it... then one day a little bit of dust over the road and boom, car slides out and you hit a pole and kill someone close to you. Yet you would probably label some kid doing 103 in a 100 zone a fucking moron.

Rant part 2:
If you're a hoon... learn to fucking drive first. The amount of dumbkunt people in their underpowered cars who throw masses of momentum at their car to get a slide happening amaze me. What shocks me, is that most of these people can do one slide, then the other way, then the show is a fury of hands and fists as they try desperately to keep it under control while coming so close to collecting parked cars or pedestrians. Then, "fuckin sick as bro, that was close as aye". Piss off ya fuckwits. YOU are the **** who do single peggers at roundabouts, swerve across 4 lanes on the freeway without reason, and then once in a blue moon decide to do 160 and loose control and fucking die. If you spend all day driving at 60-80 kays in the city, then doing 160 will be a LOT fucking different. And doing it down crowded streets like lygon or chaps? You people are fucked in the head.

Anyways, that's enough, I'm just sick of all the dumb fucking crashes people have. Just as a point of interest, I work at a damaged vehicle auction, and we get over 200 written off vehicles, almost all from Melbourne, EVERY DAY.
