Just putting it out there it wasn't me lmao cause nuff people been asking me today was it me. Just cause my car is ob lol but ye sad to see this.

 

^LOL , Jevon ur the 1st person I thought of

 

Lets not forget this guy is 25....

Everyone likes to blame street racing on younger guys like myself, but I can rattle off a list of 25+ year old dudes that have begged to race my slow *** car....

It's not kids that are street racing, it's idiots and and being an idiot has no age limit.

 

^ Exactly

 

Also if you look at statistics, fatal crashes have been decreased significantly for the under 20 crowd in the last 5 years and has actually increased for the over 25.

I forget where that stat sheet was they laid out accident due to speed and who is more commonly at fault. Going to try and find it.

 

I hear where you are coming from and agree with the sentiment.
But comparing the rating for one offence to another is is irrelevant.

The only thing you need to ask is; does 'Driver successfully moderate and deter street racing posts.
As per below, I think that's pretty self evident.

If it ever becomes more of a problem, your suggestion definitely has merit.

 

I also think we 'police' the street racing threads very well. It usually only takes one swift warning to a new member and they apologize or leave, never to return.

I saw coverage of the accident on yesterdays late news. It was a horrific looking crash. The passenger miraculously survived. I hope they catch the other driver or better yet, he/she turns him/herself in.
That idiot who wants to regulate speed is asking for it to be governed to 150km/hr. Does he think that would have helped in this crash? He's just using this to inflate his ego and push his career...'look at me'

Blain, I take offence to your age related comment...Are you implying 25 is old...what does that make some of us...
I totally agree with your "Idiot" statement.

I have to quit typing now. The arthritis in my fingers is acting up again.

Stay safe everybody.

 

This is unfortunate news :/ but common street racing??? that accord cant keep up whatsoever with a G35. To 100kph the G would be at least 2-3 cars head at the very least even if the driver was sleeping. the distance described is to WAY too short for the accord or even the G to go as fast as they are saying the drivers were going. i bet the accord was trying to show off maybe blow by or something stupid. this is an accident caused by bad driving or stupid driving not street racing.... if it was street racing the G would be far ahead uninvolved in this crash.

and the stat about how many ppl die a year from speed related crashes, that is such a BS stat to involve in something like this if they claim street racing. lets look at a stat about how many ppl die from street racing and how many of them are hondas. im sure more ppl die from the flu every year then street racing. this is bs to me. and no accord can sound like a car at the race track...

This was a needless loss of life but you guys here are too harsh to G35 drivers that make the news. NO one here knows the full story but if it was street racing it sounds kinda hard to believe the crash was caused by the G35

Either way i feel bad for the guy that passed away

 

Hahah thats how my Infiniti Sedan was advertised on autotrader. Probably one reason it was still available when I bought it.

But street racing is lame... grown ups take it to the track

 

Did you rear the news article. They have a statement from the 22year old passenger of the Accord, other witnesses, possibly video and mention of the G35 driver helping the passenger out of the wreckage.
I believe in innocent until proven guilty however if the G driver is an 'innocent' good samaritin why did he leave the scene after helping the passenger get out?

 

yea this article was written before the passenger was questioned, and i would love to see the video of that stock accord racing a G35 and how the G35 could of possibly caused it. what if the guy was scarred to stay back? no one likes to spend the night in jail or more. at least he helped the guy out. i say careless driving or if it was street racing he tried to keep up with the G and crashed. im sure we"ll hear more about this if it is street racing cuz we know that our provincial gov lovvvves to crackdown on street racers, if we dont then we know it wasnt cuz they would never admit that they were wrong about street racing

 

I wonder how the cops are gonna find the G driver. They don't even have plate # and there's gotta be at least 500+ OB coupes in the gta including myself.

 

That is soo true the accord was probably trying to do a ricer flyby and lost control of his car at a really ridiculous speed...i remember reading the car ended up in 2 pieces on either side of a gas station

 

^ There's a pic of the ruined accord on the news site.

Did you guys see the pic that was on the bb group? The news put on a pic of a modded OB coupe that closely resembles Monty's.

 

I think you're confusing Careless Driving with either Stunt Driving or Dangerous Driving. These charges differ greatlty. If you rear-end someone and the Police attend the scene you will likely be charged with Careless Driving. Stunt Driving and Dangerous Driving is in a league of its own. Its a HUGE fine, something like 6+ demerit points and your insurance provider will not cover the Physical Damages claim unless you can somehow get the charges dropped.

I see what you're saying about the Accord not being able to keep up...but that won't stop people from trying. And even if the G35 driver's driving ability and actions didn't direclty cause the other driver to lose control - the fact that he chose to race alongside the Accord still makes him partially accountable IMO.
