I have banned my instructors from using the term "accident".

Typically, when there is a fatal car crash one of the parties involved did something they know they shouldn't have done.

Speeding (or driving too fast for the conditions, you can do this without exceeding the speed limit)

Drink Driving

No Seatbelt

Run red light

Text messaging

Driving like a stroker (ie burnouts - being hektik - etc)

Not paying attention

etc

I'm yet to see a fatal car "accident".

Sadly, in a red light run situation it's most commonly the red light runner that walks away and the innocent motorist that dies, just because of the nature of the collision, (frontal impact versus side impact).

Kane:In regards to the above I know for fact that driver 2-3 times limit, travelling approx 50km/h over speed limit and went straight ahead through red light at Major intersection. Do you still feel sorry for them?

No way dude! I was merely offering a different opinion. There are always so many factors to anything as tragic as this.

kane i was there...

this is all true

All drink driver deserve the full wrath of the law I agree. Guys please don't see me as being some Pro Drink driver. I was merely throwing a spanner in the works.

The amazing thing is high wide spread drink driving actually is. It's insane how many people do it.

Really sad, always the innocent ones who come out 2nd best. Hate people who drink drive, no respect for anyone on the roads including themselves. They need tougher penalties, and i suppose the court system is also somewhat to blame because of the lack of balls most of the judges have these days.

R.I.P +

    • Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device?

    • Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.
    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
