Investigators aren't sure if the girls were wearing seatbelts, and witnesses are quoted as saying there was exessive speed.

Another P-plater tragedy, there are far too many of them.

As usual the driver only has minor injuries.

Well you can tell from the article that the car wasnt a performance car, as it wasnt listed there be the media

Probably a common family sedan or small car.

Goes to show the bullshit media in the country sensationalises things.

Sad waste of life, and a mockery to the road laws when any car can do 100km/h and unfortunately kill people.

This is very sad. I read it on the Herald Sun site yesterday before the second girl died. :thumbsup:

Another four families affected for the rest of their days by an idiot.

RIP to those involved.

The toll is 16 lower than this time last year but I doubt very much that has anything to do with publicity, probably more to do with the increase on the public transport network (think it said 30% in the last year, today).

yep...we gotta remember the media are no experts in family cars, but they know their japanese imports.....

RIP to the deceased

I agree this is tragic. I'm not concerned if the driver was a P-plater, or if there was excessive speed involved, or if the occupants of the car were or were not wearing seat belts.

The point of raising this particular incident is that the government relies heavily on cameras, even changing the name from "speed" to "road safety" to try and justify them.

But a "safety camera" would not have detected the non-wearing of seat belts. And a camera, while it might have taken a photo of the behaviour prior to the incident, would not have prevented the outcome.

The only thing that stood a chance of preventing this tragic outcome was a visible police presence "on the ground".

It's time the government and all the so-called "road safety experts" realised this.

Being in the local area (the crash happened at the other end of my road) I can tell you that the police resources in this area are painfully thin, with 20 officers covering an area spanning north past Yea, east past Marysville, south past Powelltown and into Mooroolbark. They have little to no chance of providing any meaningful police presence on the roads out here and the locals know that.

yea this is very sad.. i once new of a girl that died when she snuck out at night with this guy and he was showing off and crashed hes R33 into a pole.. she died and he lived..

really stupid if u think of it..

fair enough risk your own life by driving fast but when u risk others lives.. really stupid..

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
