Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted October 12, 2015 Site Supporter Posted October 12, 2015 Very brave for the families to release the footage of the two lads just before they died. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34510180 Quote
MancWanderer Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Saw that earlier today. The end of the video is horrifying. Very brave of the parents. I'd love to think that it would have an effect but........???? Quote
e2e4 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Must be edited, as the "Can You Here Me Now" happens about 3 seconds after it Totals, no bystander witnessing that would go up to it straight away. I'd doubt even ringing up th'ambulance. Quote
bgoefc Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Seem to have be re edited, no crash on the link now. Two boy racers killed a young girl around here two weeks ago, what i don't get is how they can afford the insurance premiums on these hot hatches at that age. Quote

Parents say they are the main driver. Little johnny just uses it to get to work and back on a Saturday morning. Quote
bgoefc Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Fronting. Parents say they are the main driver. Little johnny just uses it to get to work and back on a Saturday morning. Just wrong! Perhaps its time that young named "boy" drivers can only be named on some "put put" less than 1.2 litres. Quote
Big E Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Just wrong! Perhaps its time that young named "boy" drivers can only be named on some "put put" less than 1.2 litres. not every young person is a boy racer though. plenty of people in my sixth form had 2litre + cars and didn't drive like bellends.

bgoefc Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 not every young person is a boy racer though. plenty of people in my sixth form had 2litre + cars and didn't drive like bellends. True. But then do we make mummy and daddy more responsible? Quote
Big E Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 True. But then do we make mummy and daddy more responsible? I would say so. You have a responsibility to prevent your kids from drug driving etc Quote
frank_spencer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 not every young person is a boy racer though. plenty of people in my sixth form had 2litre + cars and didn't drive like bellends.I was driving my dad's old 2l Volvo 440 at 6th form. Drove it into the back of a kangoo van in Stoke about 4yrs later. Quote
famouswanderer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Glad they didnt take anyone else with um Quote
gonzo Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I would say so. You have a responsibility to prevent your kids from drug driving etcKin ell E quite a bold statement. You and I both know the actions of your 18 year old son is pretty much out of your control. I doubt these lads parents signed them up to their insurance knowig they were gonna go and get off ther pickles and drive. The driver didnt even have a licence. Edited October 13, 2015 by gonzo Quote

Yeah it is but I would hazard a guess people know. You owe it to people on the road to try and prevent stuff like this. Would you report a drunk driver. It's no different apart from you know them Edited October 13, 2015 by Big E Quote
gonzo Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) The only good thing to come out of this is that it was just the pair of dicks driving that pegged it. Not sure how clamping down on youths insuring cars or fronting would help the situation unless you make the driving limit 21 or ban youths having passengers. These nobs will end up in a car no matter what. Edited October 13, 2015 by gonzo Quote

little whitt Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 back in the day when i Drunk drove ( just like me it was not big and not cleaver ) i was carefull as fuck as not to look pissed or crash Quote
Moderators Casino Posted October 13, 2015 Moderators Posted October 13, 2015 You can't watch them 24/7 you can't but you can fit trackers to all new vehicles makes you wonder why it hasn't been done already Quote
mannyroad58 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 you can't but you can fit trackers to all new vehicles makes you wonder why it hasn't been done already That doesn't stop them getting pissed or drugged up and getting behind a wheel Quote
famouswanderer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 back in the day when i Drunk drove ( just like me it was not big and not cleaver ) i was carefull as fuck as not to look pissed or crash This! When i was about 18 i drove off about 3 pints and was absolutely shitting myself. Was paranoid as fuck. Why would you drive like a dick to attract attention to yourself. Never did it again. Not even one. Quote
Moderators Casino Posted October 13, 2015 Moderators Posted October 13, 2015 That doesn't stop them getting pissed or drugged up and getting behind a wheel it doesn't but it would show high speed erratic driving late at night Quote
mannyroad58 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 it doesn't but it would show high speed erratic driving late at night It would but it wouldn't matter a shiney shite when the fuckers are on a slab with an innocent bystander next to them Quote
Maggie Tate Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Lethal things in the wrong hands, cars. Don't the stats show that oldsters are the most lethal drivers? Not that it makes any difference to the victims. The only way is proper prison sentences, or else you end up penalising people who don't deserve to be penalised. Quote
