All i can say is what an idiot....

Police have seized the car of a 21-year-old man clocked driving at 130km/h over the speed limit in Melbourne overnight.

He was caught doing 191km/h in a 60km/h zone just after midnight by traffic management police as he headed south on Station Road, in Deer Park, in Melbourne's outer west.

They immediately impounded the St Albans man's 2004 Holden sedan under the state's hoon laws.

Yea ive done that once in my 33 but it was a quiet, straight road. Not a 60k road, thats just stupid

mate, not trying to be the fun police but I would think twice about admitting to breaking road rules, not the type of thing condoned on here

another brocky wannabe bites the dust, glad he didn't hurt anyone in his stupidity, 191km/h ffs?!

Wow didn't know there were any holdens in Deer park. Station road in deer park is a relatively big road, so it isn't like a little suburban street although 191, f*ck thats absolutely insane. He needs to be suspended for like 5+ years I reckon, instead of this petty impound bullshit - or atleast introduce car crushing or something!

That's insane... I don't feel sorry for the idiot!

The speed limits do drive me crazy here in OZ.. I'm used to driving 120km/hour in the USA on the highway. Of course I push the speed limit some, but not over triple the speed limit!

Escort Passport Radar detectors work well also!

So do you think that "Traffic Offenders Courses" work for dudes like this?

Anyone been through one?

shouldn't be necessary. Just point them at the crash we had here (Melbourne) over the weekend where 4 teenagers were killed. And the cars involved ... well, it's difficult to tell they were once modes of vehicular transportation.

Oh, BTW, THIS tool needs to be banned ...

for life!

It's most unfortunate that until you have one of these accidents yourself as a result of stupid driving, many of us will simply forget these stories/articles the next time we consider doing something stupid. And if we do remember them, we tend to write them off as cases of inferior driving; an individual inability to control the car at high speeds etc. We as human beings don't like to think we're incapable of anything - and that sort of subconscious defiance is what pushes us to think "we'll be alright because we're better drivers than they were / we've done it before and survived just fine". The human mind is terribly good at destroying itself. Have to remember that instincts and gut feelings (both are heavily involved in stupid driving) were effective in the simple days of hunting animals, having sex, avoiding being eaten etc. but this day and age is all too complicated to rely on them. We have physics defying machines now, but not-so physics defying human bodies.

Whether you survive that behaviour-changing accident all comes down to luck. So I guess the question to ask oneself next time you decide to do something stupid is "do I feel lucky today?". I received the answer to that question one night (as a willing passenger in a stupidly dangerous situation) and I'm all the better driver because of it. Sincerely hope the effect is long-lasting...

Good Post!

I'd only add one thing to this... the 'GOD' Factor

Who knows, when one day, you're late for work and you're thinking, "Where's my f&$kin' keys"?

Now by being 10 seconds late, God may have prevented you from getting T-boned!

...or worse still... Ground-Hog Day

Now that's my story about 'Good Luck'

'Bad Luck'?

I always remember the famous saying out of the film, The Usual Suspects where Kevin Spacey says,

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was to convince the whole world he doesn't exist"!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
