Farewell losers.

reality check. hopefully the cops involved will be able to enjoy their xmas without the threat of a manslaughter charge hanging over their heads

Blame his parents for being too bloody soft on the little prick.

Sad time. Pity others have to pay for his stupid mistake.

yeah Marty i agree ... just said on news that they were travelling approx 200ks
& had lights off so police car backed off cause they were driving a dark blue car & they could not see it ... so when they crashed they initially drove past them ..... I feel sorry for the police involved ..

the cops were just doing there job. patch your right seems that little pricks like these think they can do what they want and get away with it loosers ?lets just wait and see what happens about this .

[crashe]

The cops, ambo and firepeople....Had to clean up this blardy mess.... they have to go home to their families AFTER dealing with that mess.
Let us think of them. These men and women do a great job.


WHOSE car was the 16 yr old driving??
WHO gave him the keys to drive it??

The 16 year old didn't have a license, had already been stopped at 10pm for speeding and took off but no pursuit, even thou he was about to have the car impounded.
The last stop at 4am the police only got his first name when he took off at high speed.
They were hanging out the top of the car drinking from the bladder of a wine caske.

The driver turned his lights off on the motorway so that he couldnt be seen by the police chasing them.... That was his downfall in the end..... at St Lukes off ramp you need lights to see where you are going.

He (the 16 year old driver) was the one who lost control and killed his two mates. The driver was responsible for the death of his two mates (17 years and 19 years old).
The three came from Avondale, Laingholm and Glen Eden.

That wasnt the first time he (the driver) was in trouble with driving a car according to TV1 6pm news item.

There is a baby about to come into this world never knowing his daddy.

There are now 3 families grieving for the loss of their sons.

The others may have told him to stop, maybe not, we dont know as none of us were in that car.


The police don't know yet if the driver was drinking booze yet.... awaiting tests.
The other two were drinking from the wine bladder.



Life is precious it can be taken away in a split second.

Sad, to me justifies raising age limit.............I know there are sensible 16 year olds but perhaps raising age may reduce this type of thing....but I guess it ain't that simple.

Maybe they should restrict young i.e. under 17 'Ristricted' drivers to daylight hours only, rather than 10pm which would vary according to time of year but would make sense with winter having less daylight hours etc.

Sadly the passengers were the authors of their own deaths. They participated so they have to take responsibility to.....not all down to driver.

Hardest thing I ever did was let my big girl when she went out on the roads.......weigh up driving against staying the night at 16years old......basically it comes down to the individuel regardless of upbringing........sounds like this young man really has won the Darwin award for this episode......love to his hurting family and friends

correct crashe ... kinda brought to mind the previous recent incident when the mother of a certain individual said she would still buy her children alcohol ...

I have had my drivers lic since i was 15 .. have never had an accident (yet) but I also had to earn my parents trust to be able to drive ..

I also knew the consequences of my actions .. something that sadly seems to be lacking these days .. along with respect

[Jantar]

It may be a harsh reality that this driver has learnt his lesson. Never again will he drive unlicenced at night with his lights turned off while running away from the police.

crashe asked the right questions, lets see if the parents can come up with the right answers.
