Death by Boy Racer

[roadracingoldfart]

Where is it that YOU practice walking on water? Heard the phrase Let he who has comitted NO sin cast the first stone?
This is Hypocracy at its very best

I agree

Golly a biblical response! Guess I hit that nail right on the head.

Well im not even slightly religious so i can call you the fuckwit sounding twat you come across as (in my opinion of course) .

This entire thread is just further proof of the total lynch mob mentality prevalant in the (so labelled ) K.B. society.

You negative bastards must be bloody awesome at accident investigating as the real cops from the crash wing say they wont have an answer for a couple of weeks possibly. And wont lay any charges till a full investigation is carried out . Because ??? Anything could have happened to cause the incident.

Why dont we save lots of taxpayers money and just ask dickheads like you if we should hang anyone that has a crash or incident that dissagrees with your higher level thinking.

I am in awe of your stupidity .

I hope they get hold of me as well, Fuckers have my number.

We're all to blame for boy racers, in some small part, because we put up with them. If you want rid of them, don't think the gummint, the coucil, or the cops will get it done.

Have you any statistics as to how many accidents HAVE happened there? Is it an accident black spot?

Oh Frosty that is not the point Kerry was making nor I in my earlier post in this thread, I can hear them drifting out there right now and the rain has just started. Just another normal night here.

It is surprising there has not been an event such as this in the area sooner and lets hope there wont be another in the future, but hope wont change the possibility any time soon.

You seem to have stepped up to the defence of this youth and in some ways I can understand your position that its not the car that's at fault however this model and its counterparts are prevalent amongst the local boy racers who can for some inexplicable reason by them on what seems to be $1 deposit, the same with a set of mags and hot up from a national dealer, this should not be allowed but what is going to change that.

Have a look at the link I posted for google maps, look at the density of houses, there is no reason that any vehicle approaching that intersection at a sensible speed should loose control no matter the conditions, as I said earlier that stretch of road is treated as a race track.

Unfortunately this "accident" is testimony to the piss-poor driving education in this country. Skid pan training? Extensive practical training? Scratch and win your licence...

You don't see gun owners firing their weapons in the street because no one built them a gun range.

Unfortunately in this Banana republic, unless you are a thugbyist, you will have to beg and borrow to establish sporting/recreational facilities. The council's will bleed tax and ratepayers dry to set up thugby facilities though.

DO YOU KNOW THAT FOR FACT??
Just to reiterate what Im saying here. If the kid was DELIBERATELY driving like a fuckwit -Ie deliberately hanging the ass out or drifting or skidding -whatever then I have little sympathy for him. BUT if it was a momentary loss of concentration that snowballed due to the nature of the car the slippery conditions and inexperience then It was a tragic accident. The point re previous accidents there is that if its a known accident black spot and for example that fence is new from being mowed down 10 times then there is a different picture emerging.

I can't comment on the kid's driving as I know no more than what has been reported on the media. However I do know that piece of road (my sister lives in McGregor Rd, just a couple of blocks from where this occured). It is a very good, almost straight, flat road, and not an accident black spot.

It is far enough from the traffic lights that even in the wet the vehicle could crawl up to the legal speed limit and be be steady at 60 kmh for at least a block prior to where this occurred. If he had accelerated hard enough to lose traction (must be shit tyres) then he would have been at the speed limit a lot earlier. On the bike I have usually reached the speed limit as I pass the turn off for the Linwood Mall.

So FJ set up something like the KKK then?

[cruza]

You can guarantee that when the clouds open up, every fuckwit in his rwd Nissan or Toyota turns into a pro drifter.

yep, .......then they blame it on the wet and god help it oily road if they fark up.

it wasn't my fault officer, ring my mum , she'll tell you I'm not a boyracer...I'm a a a car buff

What are you asking if I or for that matter Kerry know to be a fact? That the area is used as a burnout pad a a drift circuit? That fact I am sure others will attest to as to the fact the road is used as a drag strip. If you are asking is this type of car and its like popular among the boy racer fraternity then your own information should cover that.

To the surprise that there has not been a collision of this nature sooner? Well that was our opinion that we are entitle to, more so than those who have never even been down this road, and let me reiterate we live in the area, approximately 800 meters away and we walk down that section of the foot path often, we have seen the stupidity of some of the drivers.

There have been plenty of Christchurch folk on here to say similar about the area.

RIP little guy, I hope for his sake it was instant.

Very valid points , BUT , it still does not mean the driver involved was driving like you describe , let the police make that call.
Some cars driving like idiots does not mean its a race track for every car that uses that road.
We have roads here as does everywhere in the country that are black spots for accidents and seem to attract stoopid drivers. Again , it doesnt mean it is the only was that you can or shoud drive that particular road.

My first insitinct is that if I was the dad of that kid, I would set up sniper post at that corner and put holes in the doors of any boy racers "sustainably losing traction" on that corner from now on, and I would join the police reserves and go HUNTING boy racers...

As an older biker I advocate leaving speed and stunts for tracks. On the roads, there are just too many unpredictables- from dogs to cows to other drivers, to kids.... any stunts on the road (including speeding) are just dumb.

BUT: Having said that, I was also young, dumb and full of come before. And I understand how difficult it is to make younger people see that they are endangering something precious (including themselves - they also have loving parents that worry about them). Lets face it- until you are a parent, you have no idea what precious means.

These guys need a concrete strip that they can go to to do their own stuff, any time of the day or night, and for free. If anyone gets hurt there (in a more controlled environment) it is their own risk. It just makes sense to get these guys off the road.

Wow, I didn't know so many KB members witnessed this accident first hand. And to think the poor confused mother of the little child killed has got it sooo wrong saying he wasn't a boy racer. I mean, come on lady, he is young and drives a Nissan Silvia, gotta be a boy racer don't he.
