Slow The F**k Down!

[carlo]

Has anyone seen the front page of todays Manly Daily.

Someone in a ECR33 smashed into a ute in Belrose last night. It is estimated he was doing double the speed limit at the time.

It was a 17 year old P Plater.

Now I never really post on these forums, but I just had to jump on here and post this up.

Every time someone pull's a hero move like this it effects the whole community, it justifies the attention P platers get from the Police.

Please slow down guys.. Take it to the track.

is it just me or does that picture of the wreck look wrong.....bonnet folded like a tin can, front panels looked stripped, side pannels poped off, but no real impact damage....

What is it about that area and the massive number of tools in performance cars that want to treat the roads as their own personal Summernats venue?

[satanic]

I think it's just that area between ForestWay and Terry Hills; long straight roads, flat and rarely patrolled by police - kinda like WSID without the extra kms.

This has been the 3rd major accident I've heard of in that area in the last year. Last two involved another Skyline and a motorcycle...

Don't people learn?

Another farking tool who spoils it for the rest of us

Hope he gets locked up.

It's the same story everywhere - every second p-plater with a performance car treats the streets as their own personal racetrack.

The message never gets through till it's too late

The problem is though, it seems that this sort of behaviour is becoming more and more common as the number of news stories about P-Plate/Hoon accidents and driving offences increases.

They only fined him.. Apparently they could not accurately judge the speed he was going.

I was driving through the back streets of French's Forest in my gtst a few weeks ago, and some guy in a R31 decided to cut sick behind me. His drifto display was credable, but it was so not the right place for it. He lost control of the car, and missed a set of parked car's by less than half a meter.

Bloody tools... But how does a 17 year old P plater have a skyline? It most certainly isn't turbo...

Either way, they should knock that shit off...

[Blitz]

Steven, you can be sure there are still plenty of P-Platers driving turbocharged imports despite the new laws.

This no doubt means there are alot of uninsured idiots cruising the streets that you really want to keep your distance from.

Yeah since that guy killed the couple on the Great Western Hwy recently i've noticed a lot LESS hooning compared to normal. I got my R33 like a week after that incident and not ONCE has anyone tried to race me in the weeks since! Guess the majority of us are mature about our cars, but it takes a handful of knobs to destroy our rep instantly.

True. I've seen a few P's with V8 utes too.

Watching too much fast and the furious

Thats just stupid... Is that law even enforced?

Maybe its my plates, or the combinationt of stock rims and exhaust, I reall don't know, but no one EVER wants to drag me... One time i was asked, on some back rural street, flat road and straight as an arrow, I still said no... I probably would have had my ass handed to me anyway

How did you notice less people trying to race you if you didnt own the car before the incident?

You're right though, the majority of us are responsible. Its the usual deal that a few wankers make the name for the rest of us.

i was challenged one 4 seperate occasions on sunday whilst driving to street race, and its ridiculous how people think its ok to race on the street.

save it for the track, these guys come out to a track day and will get their asses handed to them.....so what u can drag off at the lights, its not a matter who is faster or better, its a matter of how far ur willing to break the law...if ur dumber then the next guy, then u win....

Obviously hit the back of the ute. Tray crumpled the bonnet and ripped off one guard. Front bar probably still attached to the ute.

im a red p plater and 18 and drive a 33 ( non turbo )...sure p platers cause heaps of accidents like above but also there is alot of people on a full license ( that also have accidents ) that pull up beside me..its common sense to let it go and some p platers lack it.. trust me im not defending him he just made me a bigger target now if possible.

[v_twin]

should have bought a 31.
