Red wine doesnt stain either, its the idiot who drops it, uh huh great logic in that. You wont die if you hit a wall at 10km/h in an M5, but chances sure as hell increase with speed until we reach a speed where its a certainty. Obviously speed kills. We've all seen motor racing, clearly we know you can go fast, in controlled conditions, with enough skill. The message is aimed at public roads.

The only reason you can say 'speed doesnt kill' is youre not dead. Same with the young lad in the M5, last week. At least this young kid had enough intelligence to do it off road.

Just a tragic waste of life.

Because theyre under the delusion/misrepresentation speed doesnt kill.


Truth is, like many here, they dont know better, but as usual just cant be told even when its Police in their spare time on here, Ambulance drivers and any number of other people. These people have enthusiast blood in them, the people on here repeatedly posting the warning posts are not the bowls club brigade.

You appear to be confused.
I stated that this accident was caused by lack of ability and misjudgment, not SPEED KILLS.
You disagree and say that SPEED KILLS is true for public roads but not for other places under controlled conditions.

Well the accident happened on an airstrip, no corners, no other traffic, which are fairly controlled conditions.
The only thing missing was the skill and experience necessary to do exactly what has been done dozens of times in magazine tests at avalon.

This is a tragedy but should be used as an example. Just because you have a high powered modded car does not mean that you know how to drive it.
