That is so sad. They were "Jackasses" on the show, but they should of just kept it to their on camera stunts. Now, 2 more people have lost their life due to reckless acts of drinking and driving.

big difference between german roads/congestion compared with usa roads congestion
sounds like the stats are showing it is not safe in either country , it's just more unsafe to drive in the usa

It's only a rear cage in the GT3 if fitted not a full one. Would help in a roll but that's about all.

Minte needs to post some pics of his Lambos.

yeah, much more congestion in Germany probably (if you don't count LA and New York) :upsidedow

and actually accidents with dead people rarely happen in traffic jams, hard to kill someone at 5 mph

it shows that 55 mph limits not automatically make it more safe to drive - and that no limits automatically kill more people

in total numbers it's btw 10 times more dead people in the US at 2.5 times the population

I'm wondering what they did a toxicology report on. Did they find liver particles in the twisted wreck?

You're the dense mother fucker. Go back and read again what I wrote. I didn't say it was safe in any condition. It's clear you have the inability to comprehend written word.

You can't say absolutely that in any condition 130mph isn't safe. Or else everyone on the Autobahn would die. We all know that isn't the case. Look at what MDalton said earlier.

Now, stop being a proponent of everyone creeping along on the roadway because you're the douche blocking the passing lane. Move right, remove your head from your ass, and allow traffic to move smoothly and without interruption. :321GFY

I'm not defending anyone, idiot. Read MaDalton's link on death's per million and I want you to come back and elaborate on your claim that 130mph is inherently more unsafe than 70mph in all conditions.

Speed limit being set is set at 70mph doesn't translate to "ZERO reason to go 130 MPH". That's not very rational logic. The reason the speed limit is set at 70mph is because it's the lowest common denominator of performance capabilities of vehicles currently on the road.

It's sort of like everyone flying around in Cessna 177's with a max airspeed of 142 mph, so you say "It's extremely unsafe to travel at mach 1". Yeah, it's unsafe for YOU to travel at mach 1, your fucking wings will rip off and your aircraft will disintegrate. It's not unsafe for the guy flying a Lockheed F22 at mach 1.

You fail to take into account that there are a lot of machines on the road that are designed to safely achieve this level of performance without any problems.

Ok it appears you actually are as stupid as I initially thought.

Naturally it is safe to drive at whatever speed you like when the conditions are *right*.

Just like it is safe to go for a swim wearing a meatsuit in shark infested waters at the *right* time.

It is safe to do *almost* anything when the conditions are *right*.

Feel like making any other general statements?

In this scenario ie drunk guy late at night driving on roads sign posted for a far lower speed = unsafe. Nothing to do with the cars ability to drive at those speeds safely. It is likely that him driving this car the reason he died - ie 'man my GT3 is so fast and can corner so well look at this....BANG.....'

However i'm just hazarding a guess there - a bit like you, when you claim to know everything about a car and the conditions of the road up ahead when you claim to be able to drive at 130mph safely on roads that are sign posted otherwise.

There are many cars on the road that are designed to go extremely quick, however you seem to fail to understand that the number of drivers who have the ability to drive at that speed safely is very very low.

Just a hot tip for you - right lane here = passing lane :2 cents:

i don't think anyone here would defend driving 130 mph AND being drunk

im a nerd i dont go over 80 ever :1orglaugh im not into that speed anymore.

Art first I was felt bad for the guy then I did a little research and he is a dick and a real jack ass. It's sucks but some people just have no sense.
