Abstract Taken from http://todaytonight.com.au

Police predictions were dire when we exposed the antics of illegal drag racers several weeks ago.
"Sooner or later, someone is going to die," police warned at the time.
Now there have been two deaths. Police say a Nissan Skyline and a silver Honda may have been drag racing last night when the Skyline lost control, hitting a power pole and killing two of its five teenage occupants.
Innocent people have also died. Michael and Tamar Herman are mourning the loss of their eldest daughter Inbar, killed seven months ago on her 19th birthday by a drunk speeding driver.
The driver was found to be unlicensed with 19 prior driving convictions and had a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit. The Subaru WRX hit Inbar at 120km/h and the driver was jailed for seven years.
Inbar’s friend Brett Smallcombe was with her the night she died.
“You don’t get over it," Mr Smallcombe said. "You deal with it and move on, but you never get over it."
In many states, P-platers are allowed to own powerful cars. The law says they can’t drive them, but they can own them.
“The problem is they’re not allowed to drive those cars, but no one enforces the law," Mr Smallcombe said.
