Insane.
I recently had an accident, mine was very scary but did litte damage to the car.
I was VERY lucky to get out being fine and some minor panel damage on my car. I was cm's away from a concrete wall and ended up on grass.
It has woken me up so much, before i was to ****y and wouldnt listen to people saying you need to be careful etc etc. Considering i got a modded r33gtst as a first car, i can say i know what its like to have alot of power too young.
Ive got an extra sense now, when i drive or go driving with someone, that keeps reminding me what happened and what could of happened.
Mines: I wont be like all the other people and 'be happy' that your crashed so you can learn your lesson.. get out of skylines or whatever.
Because when it comes down to it, we are all humans,we arent machines, and being young;- emotions and hormones controll alot of our actions. This is nature,
being young you are drawn to things that are dangerous and fun, there is a mental drive in all of us that wants to do things we arent supposed to,
its who we are, we learn from our mistakes and move on.
Im not too sure how you lost controll at 70km/h unless it was a dead corner or 90degrees. No one thinks logically or cognatively when there are in such an extreme short period of adrenelin, shock, fear, nervousness etc..
All i can say is get something cheap and reliable, and gain the respect needed to own a GTR.. then you will have The respect + memory of what happned = Controlled and Safe driving.
Dont dwell on what youve done/whats happened etc, theres no point crying over spilt milk, it will just make you furthermore depressed and you will start doubting yourself.. loosing all self confidence in other areas of your life, and eventually everything will fall apart.
This is a good thread for everyone to read, i do believe there is too many young people in fast cars (me included.)
There has been a string of skyline crashes in the last few months, mostly racing accidents. I think godzilla is getting angry at us and we need to respect its authority.
Keep it for the track.
Mines, i hope this one wakes you up, because next time you probably wont be so lucky.
