Vanessa Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Suppose we can all sit and speculate on how it happened etc, etc but at the end of the day until more details are released no one knows. Whatever its very sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 fair enough if it was a banking but if on a straight road or just banging into something then the supra is a heavy car and it would take a lot to shift it, at least on a banking you have something to flip you over, still not nice3 regardless of how he lost his life Wouldn't hitting a curbstone broadside turn the car over?

JohnK Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I believe it happened where they are making a new roundabout, there are roadworks, raised iron works and massive kurbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkdtime Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Awful to read, sounds like the police were tailing him, and he might have been distracted by how close the fekers were to his tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Does anyone know if it was a MK3 Oor 4 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Don't know what you mean? How is someone forced to speed. There have been several stories on here of unmarked police cars trying to aggravate drivers into speeding / racing before pulling them over - stupidly dangerous IMO. But we don't know if this was the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 But you're not forced into doing anything different if you don't want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 But you're not forced into doing anything different if you don't want to. No you're not, but the sight of an impreza / evo etc sitting 6 inches off your bumper and winding you up is likely to destroy your concentration of what's on the road infront of you Especially if there are two large blokes sitting in it and you don't know they're police.

Definately! I think we'll have to wait and see the result of the enquiry in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 But you're not forced into doing anything different if you don't want to. Of course not, but you can easily be influenced. If you've got a police car right up your backside following you then you tend to look in your mirror a lot, and constantly check your speedo, (well I do!) It's also not nice as you're constantly wondering what you've done wrong, or what they're going to pull you over for! Before anyone says "why should you care if you haven't done anything wrong?" Think how many times people have been pulled over by the police just on this board alone, with the excuse that they thought they were speeding, or they couldn't see their tax disc etc etc Please understand, I'm not saying for one minute this is what happened on this occasion, but it's happened in the past.
