Default Stop showing off! Slow down!

Was on my way home last night with my perents about 12, got to the end of my perents road and it was blocked off by the police, there had been an fatal accident just along from my dads house. Well the green BMW that was full of passengers was traveling down my dads road in excess of 100 mph lost it on the corner outside dads house (as they all do, a man on a bike died infront of me a few years bac, there has been many more) hit a wall sideways flew up in the air, flipped and landed on it's roof. The driver was in the car but dead. The other Four of the occupants were ejected of which one died on scene and had half his head missing and the other three are in hospital 2 critical one serious. F..k me slow down people stop showing off, there has been over 6 major accidents that I can remember. I'm glad I have moved out so I don't have to deal with being woken up in the middle of the night by crashes cuz it's not a nice sight. One of them died in the arms of a man who lived right next to where the car came to a stand still. It's not just there lives they affect it also every one who is involved with the aftermath! RIP to the 2 dead and I hope the other get well soon.

Prime place for a speed camera, instead of somewhere to raise revenues.

Cheap shot as I think that the Police probably do care.
It won't be you knocking on some poor persons door and having to give someone the worst news in their life.
Good post by the op-seeing someone needlessly die is something that sticks with you forever...
