Just incase anyone wanted any extra info on the accident... i was travelling home and came past the accident not long after it happened. Also my colleague from work lives on the corner where it happened.. firstly, my colleague knows the man who got hit, and he was known for drinkiing quite alot at that pub. He stumbled out and crossed the road, not realising that the car he saw was travelling quite a bit faster than 60km/h( for obvious reasons) that being said, if the driver was not racing then it would be all over.. but because of the speed involved he now faces a jail for a minimum of 2yrs.. for an accident that could have happened to many young drivers.
I doubt very strongly that everyone here can honestly say they have never dragged someone on the street!! Unfortunately things like this happen, and thankfully they open the eyes of a lot of ppl so it doesnt happen that often. 2 people where at fault here and one of them is now dead, the other is now going to have to pay the consequences of his actions.
Everyone knows that Skylines are performance cars, and not all of them are owned by people on these forums, nor are they people that respect them and drive them on tracks to use that performance. You have to admit that there are alot of owners out there with big ego's who constantly need to prove themselves and what they have. And with that will come the Media and police attention, but how do you differentiate an enthusiast to a hoon when they drive the same vehicle?? and that applies to all modified cars not just Skylines. Just remember how much bad media attention was brought on the WRX by all the ram raids across the country, not all WRX drivers are ram raiders, dont take it personally!!
