| 886987 | 2010-05-23 04:04:00 | There is a bit of a hoon element in that area bordering Linwood Ave, some because they live there, others working in the industrail area further in going to work or home via those side streets . Linwood Ave is 50k upto I think Chelsa and then becomes 60 . Linwood Ave is a bit of a race track for these racers, multi lane each way . They come screaming out of the various side streets leading into Linwood Ave, floor it and gone or they floor it upto the next gap in the island and fly/slide around to go back towards Linwood . Problem is, these hoons will not learn from this mishap . They are bullet proof, can't happen to them . Just look at accidents where a hoon has been killed, they gather at the scene afterwards and do burn outs and the like in memory of him . I had to attend a hoon accident couple of years ago, girl racer, going too fast, couldn't take the left corner, hit the island and narrowally missed traffic going the other way as she flew through the air . Within minutes there was a large group of them gathering at the scene as they txt'ed each other / police scanners, blocking the road as they milled around . She was being treated as some sort of hero by these bog heads . Thats is there mind set . Nothing will change . If the driver of this most recent accident is one of the in group, he probably won't get shamed by the rest of them . He will be treated as a hero, no different to how the gangs think . Hopefully he will get a decent sentance but it won't act as a deterent to the rest though the courts would like to think so . |

If it can be proved then it may scale up to a charge of dangerous driving causing death. So. He'll get a smack on the wrist: A Hastings family has been left heartbroken and angry after a 19-year-old woman driving on a learner's licence crashed into a car, killing two relatives. Two people, a 49-year-old man and 31-year-old woman, died at the scene of the crash, while another man was hospitalised with multiple injuries. Peni-Terekia pleaded guilty to two counts of careless driving causing death and one of careless driving causing injury. She was sentenced to 200 hours' community work and was disqualified from driving for one year. The maximum penalty for careless driving causing injury and death is a $4500 fine or three months' imprisonment. Want to murder someone? Do it in a car.... |

| 886990 | 2010-05-23 05:17:00 | I see two 19 year olds died up here in Whangarei overnight too. Sounds like they were probably boy racers as well and were allegedly seen doing about 120km/h just before the accident. They crashed in a 70km/h zone. Wonder is it was the same car that drove down all the grass verges last night, on the street where I live, and smashed a few letter boxes??? |

| 886992 | 2010-05-23 05:31:00 | Pinoy, NZ Silvias be the group of his. Now you can't blame them for this. There were always dickheads around and these will always be. I've seen guys in their 40s and 50s driving commodores and falcons and hell even in SUVs, utes and vans who drives just as bad if not worse, you just ignore them because they couldn't possibly have been hooning... So we call it an accident and forget about it. We gotta realise that drivers in this country can't really drive, we all think that we can, but most of us can't. The majority of us think we can drive, so we all put our foots down and forget everything else. You will easily see people on the auckland motorways driving in the 140s in the middle of the day. Everyone thinks they are invincible and it can't happen to them. This used to get silly on the waikato expressway. Specially going south down the bombay hills (by the SH2 turnoff) even in the rain there would be *******s overtaking trucks at crazy speeds. SH2 itself is a nightmare too and more often then not it's not little hoonies flying there it's the older guys flying on those long straights. Things like this will not change anytime soon, it's a fact of life. Accidents do happen... However, I will add these rumors from several car forums. That car has a lot of work done on it, it was converted auto to manual and a turbo engine transplant. The guy was 17... I tell you what maybe he was immature and did something stupid as ****. But to anyone who hasn't driven a Sivlia... It's one hell of a piece of crap. The rear end is way too light a bit of power and you will lose it, more so in the wet. |

| 886993 | 2010-05-23 05:57:00 | I've owned a Levin BZR, similar weight to the Silvia S15. That was front wheel drive and the back used to get loose, there is just no weight there. A RWD silvia with another 85hp on a wet road would be dynamite if driven hard... | wratterus (105) | ||
| 886994 | 2010-05-23 06:08:00 | Reminds me of the Leyland P76 which I used to drive for the MOT as an IP car. I used to take it home and put bags of sand in the boot so the rear wheels would stay where I wanted them before going on patrol. | Sweep (90) | ||

Its a Spec S so only an SR20DE non turbo, possibly not even as quick as a 4A-GE, the Silvia will be a hell of alot more tail happy than a BZ-R if you give it stick though. |
