Yep, an AU1 XR8 won't pull the scab off a lepper. Guys obviously has some impressive driving skills, NOT.

Check out where the wheels are facing, he must have just left home after watching tokyo drift lol

Far out, way to ruin a nice car.

Look for a gap and chances are you'll get there.

Thats exactly what I was told when I went to a defensive driving course. Also the case when you hear about someone crashing into a single individual tree in the middle of nowhere.

It's called "Target Fixation." Basically, you hit what you're looking at.

A driving instructor once told me
"the brake is your friend"
I'm sure the driver had ample opportunity to visit that friend.

What a waste of a good car, the tyre marks do make me laugh though

[wodahs]

any body know how to get hold of the bloke
mines ova insured and could use a road test like that
supose thats the airbag part and seat belt restraintes of the test :hihi:

I wonder who will blame the tree for that one!

[needaXYGT]

and what if the tree wasnt there. he would have went rolling down the ramp, possibly through the house and done himself some damage, not only to the car, but to himself as well.

I dont think it will pass a roadworthy now with a cracked windscreen and broken right hand blinker!

Makes ya glad there wasn't a Bus Stop full of school kids on the footpath there,!!!

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

Looking at the opposite lock on the front wheels plus long skid marks, must of through he could drive out of the drift. All you really need to do it left of accelerator with these cars & it will correct it self most of the time.

in nambour, so close to home, adn with the other crap that happened over the weekend here (statesmen that split itself in two around a tree killing 3 or 4) one would think brains would kick in...alas, more reason p platers should be limited....

Most of the idiot Platers in NSW try hiding them behind their number plate with only the smallest amount of red or green showing.

It used to be an offence to do that which for a plater meant loss of license : maybe the cops just can't be bothered anymore. Personally the less platers on the road, the safer I feel - its always loony land during school holidays when all the kids come out to play :

Totally agree, he is an idiot i hope they take his licence away, he is so lucky he didnt kill any one. How old was he.?

[GXL078]

I feel no sympathy for the cretin, he should be DEAD. Natural selection!

[Piotr]

So becuase a car crashed it automatically must be a P Plater?

No, i would have said it's a 'P' plater so there is automatically an accident

Follow the conversation - Co8ra said all that is missing is a P-plate - no one said he actually was, but due to obvious stupidity he really should be.

[HOON69]

i see your on SC

and with the 3 dead making news and new laws being introduced this just gives the goverment and police more ammo.

this guy has alot of explaining to do to both paties :
