    Default Some people just don't get it.....

    This accident happened in the early hours of this morning in Perth.

    Unbelieveable.

    As terrible as it is, I would love to know just how fast they were going to do that to a VE. Either way, I feel for their families, who are now down one family member.

    for those not familiar with Perth , this has happened on the edge of the CBD.... Feel sorry for their families...couldnt happen at a worse time of year.. Funny place to be getting up to the speed required to do that much damage..

    The cops expression pretty much sums up the whole thing. Cops are sick of having to see people busted up from pure stupidity on the road and these guys that think they're invincible just don't understand how many people it affects if they get killed. It starts from family then friends, cops, witnesses and other families that have gone through this have to relive it everytime it happens again.

    As Jaymz said, I feel for the families but at least these muppets are off the road, imagine if they hit another car then how many more people would it affect.

    As horrible as this is they must have been doing something very very stupid to end up in the palm tree along that road so they get no sympathy from me

    Damn, thats one tough palm tree. I've seen some pictures of MAJOR collisions involving VEs and they are pretty damn tough. That car would of been close to the speed limiter to do that.

    The news was talking 200 but who knows. Cops are trying to find CCTV footage to try and work it out. They were obviously hammering. The impact mark on the palm tree has got to be 5ft from the ground.

    There are also zero skid marks on the road, so they will only ever be guessing the speed they were going at

    5 star ancap ratings are based on certain speeds. doesn't matter if your car is the safest ever if you hit a tree at the speed they would have been going your screwed.
