Drive Safe

flamingice · June 4th, 2007, 4:23 PM

A good friend of mine was killed in a car accident over the weekend. It's shocking to think how quickly a life can be taken away, just like that.

A lot of us like to have a bit of fun on the roads, but it's not worth a life. Please, drive safe. That is all.

Blind_Io · June 4th, 2007, 4:29 PM

I'm sorry to hear that Flamingice.

I see people driving recklessly all the time around here, they use other cars as slalom gates and do upwards of 70 mph in areas posted at 35 mph or on the bridges (50 mph). If you want to get your speed on, please go to a track day.

Exact reason why i just sent my application to become a Cop.

Very sorry to hear it, it's always hard when a life gets taken away prematurely.

cl191 · June 4th, 2007, 7:36 PM

Sorry for the lost.
Please remember the road is not a race track and for god's sake, please wear seatbelts.

Ottobon · June 4th, 2007, 8:25 PM

sorry to hear about your lose.

Its strange how one of the fastest drivers (not exactly reckless, but one could say so because of his speed) also happens to have witnessed more road deaths then any other person i know, maybe his sense of reality is what keeps him from having high speed accidents like most people would at his speeds

You have my condolences. images/smilies/comfort.gif

Cobol74 · June 4th, 2007, 11:15 PM

Sorry for your loss, I hope the family are not too shaken by it.

fbc · June 4th, 2007, 11:31 PM

My condolences on your loss.

Jacobfox · June 4th, 2007, 11:40 PM

condolences to you and the family on the loss.
don't drive like fools, save that for the track.

BlaRo · June 5th, 2007, 1:45 AM

Sorry to hear that, man. It's one thing to have your own perceptions on how you drive, but when something like this happens everything changes. images/smilies/comfort.gif

bobo_1314 · June 5th, 2007, 1:59 AM

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I always see young kids driving recklessly at night, when there aren't many cars. However, there ARE cars, and most people on the road don't want to get themselves killed. Please drive responsibly.

cvrefugee · June 5th, 2007, 8:21 AM

I also lost a friend to a car accident, about a little over a year ago. His brother was driving and fell asleep at the wheel. Nobody was wearing seatbelts...ALWAYS BUCKLE-UP!

I know how you feel.

zeroSignal · June 5th, 2007, 8:30 AM

Sorry to hear that. My most sincere condolences.

A few nasty crashes I've had have taught me first hand the (possible) consequences that driving can have.

I'm sure your friend would be glad to know that he has friends that care about him so much.

I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences.

makes you think twice before floring it images/smilies/sad.gif

Devon · June 5th, 2007, 12:08 PM

Condolences for the loss of your friend.

flamingice · June 5th, 2007, 4:39 PM

Thanks everyone for the support. The accident wasn't caused by reckless driving, but by bad judgement, probably due to tiredness. She was one of the happiest, most energetic people I knew.

You hear about these things all the time, but until it happens to somebody close to you, you don't realize the impact something like this can have.

Jon · June 5th, 2007, 5:40 PM

Very sorry for your loss images/smilies/sad.gif

tedb43o2o3 · June 10th, 2007, 8:56 AM

Same here...There was one of my friend was killed in car accident last 3 month....
he was racing with somebody because someone challenge him, and i think they were in a fight...... images/smilies/sad.gif

Alok · June 10th, 2007, 12:52 PM

My deepest condolences for your loss Craig. May she RIP
