A419 accidents

[Sippo]

In one of the photos you can clearly see skid marks drifting from the 'fast lane' into the inside lane.

Why was she in the outside line. No other cars involved, so no need to be in that lane.

Absolute bullshit - I was a cock when I was 17 and a cock when I was 21 (Cue you're a cock now DMR etc hahahaha zzzz)....

My driving had calmed down a bit but all you would do is postpone young lads driving like oils for 4yrs, not eradicate it. Inexperience is the problem not the starting age but that's jut life. You've got to start sometime and can't have hand-holding forever.

DMR.

Maybe you were a cock at 21....but most people(except you obviously) would  better prepared for the roads at a sensible age....that being 21.

By your own admission you were a cock at 21....many are not.

We all have an opinion on road safety and they're probably mostly flawed or completely wrong.There's also massive hypocrisy when it comes to stuff like this, the thread is a bit Daily Mail already.

[Sippo]

Well it was started by me

[Samdy Gray]

I read on the Adver website earlier that people had been stopping their cars on the 419 to lay flowers at the scene.

Morons.

Not the Daily Mail Sie but the Rac....granted it was 2009 but the first few paragraphs tell you that 15 to 19 year olds are at an incredibly higher risk.

The rest is grim



Bear in mind many of the older drivers die because of health problems(heart attack etc) so the figures for young adults between the age of 15 to 19 are shocking.

Its not anti young people,,,,its just facts..

Yeah I was talking more about the theories, particularly the theory of this accident and how to prevent certain things.

I think there are people such as yourself who has openly admitted in the past that getting done for speeding has made you a better drive and others which have just talked about avoiding speeding tickets but being outraged at the little rascals who zoom around high as a kite or drunk as a skunk.

I think we're all hypocrites when it comes to driving and road safety, I really do.

There is no such thing as a a dangerous road.

Looks like they were over the limit and messing around whilst driving. Youngsters really do need educating.

That sounds fucking horrific.

Kerry was thrown through the windscreen into the path of the vehicle.

Harry Livingstone, 20, was sitting in the middle rear seat, and was flung through the rear windscreen. He ended up underneath the vehicle.

Jake Gibbons is thought to have been thrown out through the sun roof, landing 10 metres from the car.

Shaya was still in the driving position, but only had her seat belt secured around her lap.

After having attached his seat belt, Jordan was in his original position, with his head out of the window.

The male passengers are now recovering, and Jake and Jordan have recently returned home. They are currently learning how to walk again.

Not having a go at you posting, but I wish I hadn't read that.

yeah they were being stupid Sippo, but the paid the ultimate price. Thank **** no other vehicles were involved

[Sippo]

It is still sad don't get me wrong, and kids will be kids. I think deaths with 'youngsters' behind the wheel has risen. We need to find out why or try and slow it down. You will always get some that think they are invincible unfortunately.

A mate of mine was one of the first on the scene and he said it was horrific, won't go into details but it knocked him for six.
