PhatVR6 0 Posted July 3, 2005 A lesson for all you road captains out there who drive like a t**t all the time.......this could be your car..... In this case, the driver was lucky enough to survive, let alone walk again (check out the pedal box, it's nearly touching the seat). Hit a tree at well over 100mph. Don't let it happen to you. It's slowed me down I can tall you that for certain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted July 4, 2005 I'm sure no-one is totally innocent of speeding at some time or another, reguardless those photos provide a chilling reminder of what 'could' happen. Remember its not always excessive speed that causes accidents, other drivers, unforseen hazards and lack of care can also play a part. the thing that always comes into my head and slows me down if i'm being 'a bit silly' is something a close friend said to me once after I told her about reaching 150 on the A1. she said "next time you're doing that speed think to yourself - what would happen if a tire blew right now" works every time.

Walesy 0 Posted July 4, 2005 next time you're doing that speed think to yourself - what would happen if a tire blew right now" works every time. exactly what i think of......ive had a tyre blow on me at 70mph and it's NOT fun....at 100mph+ i dread to think what would happen.

dinkus 10 Posted July 4, 2005 That's a pretty scary pic. After doing similar (but nowhere near as bad) things to my car pictures like that seem to have more of an impact (sorry, bad pun not intended). It is worth saying that there's a big difference between speed and driving like a t**t, so Phat is fully justified in saying it. But of course, you can also drive like a t**t and be speeding...
