I understand speed though, and its dangers, my best friend was killed by a speeding driver, and I know kids do stupid ****, the frontal lobe as mentioned earlier doesn't fully develop until the age of 20-21, its both good and bad, most people wouldn't get laid if it was (eg. women thinking about the precautions of prematial sex, 18 year old girls don't), yet car wrecks like this also happen, for those of us who are a little more mature at a younger age are suffering, I pay $130/month for insurance and my record is clean, no speeding tickets or accidents, this is because i'm a teenage male

 

hmmmm... think you might have nailed the ebrake deal gagan. Lot of young drivers think that will stop them faster.

 

alright fair enough, I guess all that can be said for sure is teenagers are at least twice as likely to cause accidents but yeah theres plenty of accidents across the board.

 

Gold diggers don't care where the money comes from.

When I was in HS a kid got a vette his senior year. He totaled it within a week. It ejected him through the T-top and crushed him to death.

If I were the parent of the girl I would sue the kid's parents for negligence.

 

if only all the other teens think like you...

 

Naw, there's no way he had boiled brake fluid because he wasn't in a canyon that would require brakes... Its pretty straight with minimal turns... His skid marks had all 4 tires marked on the pavement which means that he was skidding sideways, or almost sideways which explains why there were skidmarks.

It looked like he was turned about 1/4 turn, not completely sideways but not straight either.


Either way he's an f'ing douchebag for doing what he did.

Apparently he was some good kid who apprently went to Mexico on his summer vacation to help orphan kids or something... then he comes home and helps a girl die.

 

Still poor judgment.

I know great kids, who've all mad some super poor judgments. I really hate how family members and friends try to make excuses or try to butter up his image. His actions speak 10x more than their words.

 

But that might be true if he's going like 60mph, but he's likely going 150+ (that year corvette CAN do about 180) , I'm sure he'd be needing some brakes, and if the fluid is old and moisture absorbed, the pedal would become mush in just a few seconds.

 

lol @ 18 year old MAN and wtf driving a corvette?

 

same here bro ..... used to drive a lot faster ... racing and stuff but learned it the hard way ... now i rarely go close to 70 mph ... just drive slow and even get honked so many times for driving slow
RIP the innocent and cute girl.
nothing to say about that guy ...

 

The drunk driver who hit me got attempted vehicular manslaughter on 3 people. He was also estimated going 120 when he hit me.

 

x 100000000


Man, I'm (and I speak for everyone) sooooooo glad you're okay! It could have been soooooooooo much worse than it was. Good old Subie safety.


And F' that guy... Hope he gets cancer and AIDS

 

For the most part, ABS doesn't work at those crazy speeds. I've left plenty of skid marks on roads going to fast and having to hit the brakes in cars with ABS and I still manage a tire smoking skidding stop. Not 300ft, but I also wasn't going over 100mph at the time I had to stop.

 

I am not "ok" i am alive though. I will have problems for the rest of my life but i am learning to adjust to my new life.

And yeah after i heard he did a bankruptcy on my lawsuit i said i hoped he got butt raped and his guts fell out his butt. :/ I was the 3rd dui accident he had gotten into and he was 26 yrs old.

 

Some people just need to be ended.
