poor girl!!! Its so sad to see something like this happen to someone so young! RIP. I had a friend that also passed away this way. he lost control of his LS400 and hit a tree at about 100 mph. most of us never think of what can happen at those speeds and yet we ride on the highway going 70-80 mph every day . Im sure most of you have hit 100 mph on a public road so dont be so quick to judge the girl.
Smart people get some instruction.

Track days will always be cheaper than your deductalble.

100 mph and a tollway coming up, sorry, i've never done it.

If a person is illogical, Camry or Porche, it doesn't make any difference.

A lost is a lost, RIP.

Wow, this thread is closing in on 20,000 hits.
It must be linked to all over the place.
all this is a different frame of reference for a typical N American driver struggling along in their suv.

no longer is 80mph considered fast or even 100mph, 140mph is do_able easy, 180 a little work.

i bet the driver even slowed down considerable like 40%, for the toll.

Seeing that girls head pop like a egg dropped off of a 2nd story buiding is not going to stop me from driving 100 mph+ . She clearly made a illogical choice. Driving intoxicated (if that is true) was the first. You live and learn... well, most of us.

All the semantics and logic asides, it truly is a tragic death. RIP! I just want to make that clear, because it might seem like I was judging her but that's not the case. She made a critical mistake and paid for it with her own life. It's a very good thing she didn't take anybody else with her.

RIP!

That doesn't mean anything. The containers (cans or bottles) could've been left from days ago or empty; doesn't mean that driver was driving under the influence. A quick test at the hospital could easily determine that.
