Do you know that for sure, did you see it happen or have you spoke to someone who has all the facts???

No I didn't think so.

Never mind about the driving just now, think of his family and friends.
Well said.
Scoobfan - you may well be right. however top tip in life......
It is always dangerous to assume.

However, as daft as it sounds, a car does not 'roll' standing still, does it?
A road is a very dangerous place to be if a driver isn't concentrating 100%.
What a find sad, is when peeple blame it on the car/conditions. If the car was new to them, slow down. If it was wet, slow down.

'90% of accidents are caused by driver error'

This is a statistic that we should all wake up to and take notice of.
Well said
Agree.... Driver error is what causes the majority of accidents.....
And more people need to wake up to this.............

However it is allways dangerous to assume.

What exactly are condolences to someone's family when you don't know them?
Does it mean that your self righteous side is cleansed? Did you send a sympathy card to the media to send onto the family? Did this news mean you needed a day off work to think about life?

I never understand the point in all this RIP nonsense to someone who is dead so can't read it, to someone who you didnt know... Seems like a communal patronising waste of finger movement to me...
But hey, if it makes you feel better... I certainly feel better now

PS RIP RIP post

Maybe it just means that some of us are human eh! Did any of us no Princess Diana. I doubt it but it is sad when ANYBODY dies particularly in circumstances like these. None of us were there so none of us know any facts about crash so simply presuming driver was going to fast or driving like a lunatic is pathetic. I would care to wager that 80% of members have pushed their Scoobs almost to limits at least once to try them out. does my head in when they pretend they pootle around in their STI's (with 340bhp remaps etc etc) Grow up and stop bitchin! Rant over. Condolences to family of bereaved..
