It bothers me that his passenger died, and that the truck driver could have been seriously injured or killed (not too mention additional people hurt/killed) as a result of your friend's stupidity.

I hope that you and his friends learn from his fatal mistake.


First lesson is, don't drive on bald tires in the wet.

 

What does having 255 rear and 215 front tires have anything to do with it? You think wider is better in the rain? I rather have 205 winter tires with full tread than 255 balding or high performance tires in wet condition. There a reason tires come with our car called high performance summer not winter.


Also, I don't mean to offend anyone with this but some of us blame this all on the tires being bald. If I get caught speeding then should I blame the car for being too fast?

 

Trsut me Dave, I am very well controlled with my throttle and reckless maneuvers.

I do not pass people AT ALL.

 

2 much burnouts

 

i think it's better to get rear ended than hitting a wall but in this case i think both cars were moving TOWARDS each other. so like a head on collision which is even worse.

RIP to the victims...such a nice car and lives gone to waste.

 

Reading the webpage, it seemed as though they died from massive head injuries. It doesn

 

He's not alone.

Calling this an accident implies it was out of the driver's hands, or that it was unexpected. Accelerating on bald tires on a wet surface is very likely to create wheelspin, and in turn a situation with excessive yaw. Like Dave, I feel sorry for the passenger and the driver of the pickup, but the driver of the S2000 is 100% to blame for his own death.

 

thats sad.... condolences to their family...

 

That gets me to slow down..

I never speed in the rain.. but I do go about 90 often

God Bless the Families

 

He's not alone on this. Nobody is perfect to follow the rules all the time. I broke rules almost every time I drive. However, not all rules are the same. I don't break cardinal rule. Like speeding with bald tires in the wet or driving while under the influence. These are not the same as not stopping completely at the stop sign.
