I dont see rain as an excuse though. Ive been driveing for a lond time now and I have been in the worst terenchle down poors and driven through 4 inches of rain and never had a problem controlling any car ive owned. look when it rains hard you slow down your speed. You gotta be going fast to hydropain and not be able to save it. I have hydroplaind ..everyone has you dont lose control that bad. Only thing Ican think is they felt the car pull to the right like it always does when hydroplaining and the driver jerked the wheel really hard but even then I stil cant imagine the car shotting across a meadien or anything.

Umm...it rained and they hydroplaned, lost control and hit a van. the only way they could've identified frankie was through his tattoos and dan through his DNA...they got that ****ed up. And i'm pretty sure they didn't do it on purpose...they were intelligent guys, just not smart enough to wear their seatbelt.

Seriously this isn't a freakin matter to be calling people stupid for happening. If they had all survived then fine call 'em stupid but 2 people just DIED and you could care less... This thread is DONE.

Well let's disect THIS one shall we?... Don't see rain as an excuse? What is asphalt made from? Did you know that OIL is a prime ingedient? THUS the reason roads are slick when rain starts. Now you've been driving a long time... NEVER lost control? I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. but fine there is STILL the experience on your side. And obviously due to your PREVIOUS statement of NEVER having lost control you DON'T know what it takes to lose control NOR how hard it is to regain it. I've slid on black ice, hydroplaned, went offroad in snow doing a mere 25! MPH. But no according to Emonz we have to be going FAST to hydroplane. There are plenty of things that can contribute to hydroplaning. Try driving with bald tires, tires of different sizes. I've hydroplaned merely making a turn from a dead stop. Christ do you even DRIVE in bad weather??? And once you start planing there IS no stopping it until you hit a non waterlogged surface. Try doing some research hell even TEST the theory in an empty parking lot one day. And a median isn't ALWAYS 6' wide. We have medians here that are mere inches but they are STILL medians. I may be wrong on this BUT I think even the double lines count as the median in legal terms. So how about looking things up before you dismiss someone's death and being stupidity.

My thing it there is no doubt they were going faster than they should have been other wise they would probly not have crossed a highway median or hydroplainned on the higway. Like i said highways are designed for water to flow off, and Yes I understand people died in this accident and no that doesnot change my mind. I have had plenty of people close to me die from this same exact BS that is why I am making my point known I feel the same way about my own friends. I watched a kid I went to school with die right in front of me he was being stupid crashed head on with someone. I got out to see if he was alright . He gasped then went limp When I looked at him his body was cut straight in half from his pelvic area down was ripped off and on the other side of the front of the car and as you can imagine there was blood EVERYWHERE. Now that was like a 50MPH head on collision Amber says they had almost no way to identify these kids in this instance, do you think they were going fast? I do
My point is I think this should be talked about in this matter not because I dont care cuz I am sorry anyone has to go threw that but some people have no clue what they are up against when it comes to road conditions and driving. I know there are alot of people on this site younger than me and they probablly do alot of stupid things like I did when I first got my license. Might as well try to make this type of thing hit home to others beside people who were friends of the 2 kids here. I have been in ambers shoes with this as everyone is at some point in life and what do you want this to be a oh im sorry to hear that Amber where no one really understands that yes this can be any of us on a daily basis.
So I dont want to keep saying it but I am sorry for those who lost a friend and I am sorry if my replies are not understood and seem ignorant or out of line but I think that it should be talked about.
And I was NOT caller these kids stupid I was saying they were stupid behind the wheel which is meant to be taken in a different way then it seems to be taken. Either way they almost killed 6 other people how can that not bother anyone else but me?

There is a reason I closed this thread. This discussion is O V E R. PERIOD. Admin you may be but god you are not. The point I am making is instead of consoling someone that JUST lost 2 friends you call them stupid and insult the deceased??? No manners, no sympathy, and NO respect for loved ones. This is the LAST time I will be locking this thread. I don't expect to see it open again. EOT.
