I'd be interested in seeing which guy was driving...and if it had an affect on the court's decision.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Bet the younger guy was in a turbo 4/6 and the older guy was in a V8.

Although he did do a defensive driving course, I don't think that should let him off so easily for such reckless driving. I mean, its one thing if you're going to be putting your own lives at risk, driving at those sorts of speeds on our roads, but when theres other people on the road, AND you have passangers.... Thats not on.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

It says in the article that the younger guy got 2 months jail, and the older guy got 300 hours CS due to volunterily sitting a defensive driving course.

I think the defensive driving course teaches people to be more aware of hazards.... i'd do it again if sitting my license.




mainly to shorten time tho on licenses :P

They didn't give much away in the article, the young guy could have been disqualified previously or have other driving convictions to his name, possibly even tried to do a runner when the disco's came on?

They were both driving V8 Commodores. You'll notice, because of this, that the term "boyracer" was hardly used in the newspaper article. :roll:

Nah, couldn't have been commodores. They said they were driving "high performance cars" :lol:

Jokes aside, the lawyers really must have been scraping the bottom with what they used for a defence
