Death by Boy Racer

[Katman]

Why is that even relevant to this incident? listening to you is like listening to the offender in the docks. "but, your honour, I see guys on motorcycles doing wheelies all the time and... and...and....

Its not even relevant.

I think it's the repulsive double standards that are all too often shown on this site that were being pointed out - not the revelance to this incident.

How many woodstock and colas could one get for the price of admission though?

Vrrrrrrm pish, Vrrrrrrrrrm pish

So how many woodstocks can one get for the price of a track day?

HaHaHaHa.....that is so funny. Yea they eat ice cream and club sandwich's i guess. Not the ones i have seen i'm afraid. Liqueured up to the eyeballs the ones i saw.

So how much alcohol was invloved in this incident?

I'm referring to the double standards that exist. Bikers who do 200+kmh on a public road often say "boy racers should have their cars impounded and their balls chopped off"

Just try that in here and the posts will be slammed into PD faster than you can blink and you'll be infracted that hard your nose will bleed.

Trust me - I know.

Cheers for the 'heads up'. Otherwise it seems a really balanced and decent website... Choke cough

Scuse my ignorance here, but is the "boy racer" premise based on the driver's age, gender and the photo of the car? The reason I'm asking is to see whether there is any other information to determine that "boy racers" are to blame. It is entirely possible that it was simply a young person losing control of their car ending in extremely tragic results. My point is that unless there is other info which I've not read, why are people accusing the driver of being a boy racer?

What is a boy racer?

A twat driving a twat wagon in a twatish way, Boy isn't just a description of age/gender but of social standing.

Besides, The Herald said so.

(One little change).

That's better. Far easier to include all forms of transport into that description.

S15 with mag wheels, 18-years.

Yep. Boy racer.

Policeman on TV1 news said that alcohol and 'boy racing' (whatever that means) are not involved in this accident.
There are several on this thread who are living out a fantasy, manufacturing crap from the compost heap they crawl in.

Says who???

Said I. Oh sorry, I forgot to add this -> :sarcasm:

[hayd3n]

i wonder if the car had chopped springs aswell

[huff3r]

I very much doubt it. It didnt look like it, and if he has an S15, chances are he has the money to do the right thing. Also, as has been pointed out, he could quite easily be someone who has never raced in his life, never lost traction before that day, etc etc. Too much jumping to conclusions for sure!

So he has an S15, strangely enough people like them, they are a nice looking car. Doesnt mean he picked it for its boy-racer qualities (powerful RWD), its entirely possible the car was picked for him by parents, or he simply chose it because he liked the look of it, or because its the "in" thing at the moment.

Seems some of the narrow-minded people on here need to grow the fuck up, and stop judging others without knowing any of the story. I'm only 20, and sure I'm young, but fuck me if I'm gonna go round saying all old people are arrogant pricks who drive like shit, and would fail a driving test in an instant regardless of wether its true or not. And don't go pretending the old man didnt like to put his foot into it and get the falcon/commodore a bit sideways when you were a kid either, cos we all know thats bullshit.

Yes it was an unfortunate accident, and I'm sure the affected parties have all learnt from it. Truth is the kid probably wouldnt have caused such a horrendous accident if he'd been taught how to control a skid, but of course as long as he knows his give way rules he's sweet to drive anything, anywhere, anytime right?

nissan silvia, modded, wet road. car was seen fishing tailing , drifting , massive impact from pics I've seen. Just a guy being a bloody dick head . he deserves every thing they can charge him with. I see this stuff happening more and more on our local roads in christchurch, every day, drifting thru intersections etc. and many many near misses.
Some young people really lack a sense of realilty.
