Default For all of you that do 110MPH on foreign roads...

When i was a freshman at Decatur High there were 3 people graduating. Did not know them or anything what so ever.
Two nights ago they were going down this road thats about 3/4 of a mile long in a brand new Lincon Zephyr. The road at the ends make a sharp *** S turn that you can go max 45 around. Well these three kids were doing 110MPH and counld obvisously not navigate the turn, they turned went straight and slammed into a brick wall taht was backed with dirt and a sign for a development. When they went off the road they hit the grass and bottomed out obvisously and hit the wall jumped the whole sigh for the development witch is about 10 feet high, landed, ruptured the fuel tank, and the car burst into flames. I saw it today at the local lot. I decieded to look in it and i could nto beleive what i saw. There was hair and skin burned to the seat. But they did die on inpact and did not burn to death witch i guess is good thing.

But next time anyone speeds redicously on a road please know the road.

I say save the speed for the track... a lot slimmer chance of getting hurt or killed there...I have had friends from high school wreck and die because they were going way too fast for the road they were on...the speed is not worth your life and others' as well.

After run ins with cops for speeding and racing friends my speeding days are done. Like I generally do like 5 or 10 over, depending on the roads and how well I know them. But I honestly think if you're doing 65+ just for the hell of it you're just asking for trouble... of course there are varying degrees depending on traffic, road conditions etc. I mean if I got a high performance vehicle (such as a Viper) I'd open it up on the track and baby that thing on the highway.
