It seems the last week here in SA, there has been accident after accident. Not nice stuff. I hope everyone is driving carefully.

Wednesday May 6: 24-year-old Mansfield Park man killed and three teenagers injured when the stolen car he was driving rolled at Warnertown after fleeing from a police pursuit.



Saturday May 9: 18-year-old Willaston woman killed when the car in which she was a passenger hit a tree on Freeling Rd near Gawler.



Thursday May 14: 22-year-old Echunga woman killed when her Suzuki four-wheel-drive slammed into a tree on Echunga Rd near Hahndorf.





Thursday May 14: 22-year-old Ottoway man killed and his 22-year-old Ottoway girlfriend, the driver, was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition after their Toyota Corolla was hit by a blue Subaru WRX, suspected to be drag-racing with another lime-coloured WRX, on Torrens Rd, Woodville North.

1- if you are jacking cars, you deserve everything coming your way

2&3- still, somehow proves women are better drivers than men :S

4- i think i can count the number of lime green wrx's in SA on 1 hand.

it is sad that there have been so many deaths in the last week. i hope people learn to drive to their own limitations
c l u t c h m a n !

but it shouldnt, it should come back to driver training, or lack there of!

Some driving instructors are giving out licenses like a pedophile giving out candy.
brappinseven
it has absolutely nothing to do with 'driver training' or lack of in terms of drags

it comes down to people thinking they are better and or have a faster car then the person they are next to
as for whoever said women are better drivers

grow the fuck up, seriously

The first one doesn't look Jap. But yeah, Corolla, Terios and Charade all didn't hold up very well. Makes me kinda glad I'm not driving my charade anymore.

As for women being better drivers, they crash less. But they also drive less. If you actually look at the statistics men have less accidents per kilometre, they just drive a lot more. Not saying we're all perfect, but I just hate how that gets thrown around.

I'm just hoping these accidents lead to addressing the causes, not just blindly blaming it on speeding

exactly, nobody is perfect, nobody is better then the rest
saying women are better is quite sexist, and just undermines the confidence of whoever says it ;p

WTF. How do people wrap FWDs around trees and poles? Look at the vitara, she must of been doing 100kph sideways to do that, how the fuck do you get an underpowered 4wd to do that unsure.gif I dont know about SA, but if heaps of crashes like this happened in QLD there would be a massive police blitz by now, even though none of the things they crack down contributed to the accidents, just an excuse for revenue raising

it would be just as easy to wrap a fwd around a pole - aquaplane. when your front wheels do both steering and send power to the ground, your stuffed if you loose grip.

SA is almost renowned for revenue raising. so theres not alot new there
Jmaccy
yeh there all japanese cars?
your a peanut theres vehicle standards for a reason and crash test for a reason.

maybe plow your massive mopar beast into a tree at 100km and see if that holds up well.

all cars are tested for this and hitting a tree etc youll come off second best, regardless of the make, model watever.

just pisses me of unbias ppl
