Topic: Speeding - please think twice

[barrie1]

I am with Fantino for getting rid the US State Trooper Hats as this is Ont and not the states at all. Not all of the US uses this design anyways so let us recognize our own time honoured Uniforms here. The Black and White Cars are much easier to see with both colours involved and they pay next to 000 for them anyways. I wish I could buy new cars that cheap every few years which are loaded up like these.

Was wondering why it was important to point outl the offender was "The son of a millionaire" though. 

It is the media...they will do whatever it takes to get people riled up.

I don't think so, I think they are trying to point out that buying your kid a fast, powerful, heavy car with little driving experience is irresponsible parenting.  And I agree.

Same thing as this:

  he (and most others can and DO actually emulate this unfortunate incident) in ANY CAR...from a clapped out Escort on UP to a ROLLER..........wot car can't do 60MPH???!!!!
 The poor olde dears (young kids,anyone) were in the wrong place at the wrong time......happenstance....isn't that the definition of an accident in the truest sense?

Problem is, it wasn't an accident.  It was avoidable.  The dumbass was driving 70Mph... in a 30 zone...  on a damp road.... during lunchtime.   

Birmingham University standards must be pretty low to have admitted this idiot.

I hope that 5 year ban on driving is AFTER the 4 year prison term.

EVERYTHING is AVOIDABLE if ya stay in BED...read my post again....knee Jerk responses to "accidents" are like Motherhood and apple pie to some...first statement said "Almost 60mph!!)"  but wot if it was an old lady inna clapped out Escort doing 45MPH and she wiped out 2 High school kids going home fer lunch ? GET real..Life is a Lottery........U coulda woulda shoulda kinda thing been there OR conversley DONE that...U never speed or do anything "BAD" of course...can I stand behind U at the Pearly Gates?
