*puts on glasses*

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

drink drivers bring shit like this upon themselves...

rip dead dude

He would of got home safely if the police hadn't of chased him.

Poor guy... R.I.P.

He would have gotten home safely if he had stopped at the booze bus, its his own fault, don't feel one bit sorry fire there idiot, his family and friends are the ones suffering because he made a f**ktard decision to run, don't blame the cops, take away there powers to pursue and we will have anarchy.

Perhaps he was a regular who got harassed by the police and was trying to avoid getting defect?

Still not a reason to doing a runner from a cop with emergency lights on, running a red light on a busy road, doing twice the speed limit, etc. There is no excuse for this.

Sympathy for the driver, there have been a lot of people lately avoiding cops and doing runners - maybe it's time the police took a different approach to the situation. It's clear things aren't working, wonder how many more people are going to die before things change.

And?

Avoiding a defect is a good reason to risk the lifes of everyone around you?

How about selling the car? everyone knows what the go is in vic with this situation, if your gonna be a f**ktard and do a runner because you dont want a defect notice then either make your car legal or go buy a f**king daewoo, how ever you put it there is no reason to be in that situation and leave everyone who loved him with there lifes ripped to shreads because of one f**ktard decision!

5 people have died already from police pursuits in Vic. There was a head on collision in Vic where someone coming the other way was hit head on.

Why don't the police just get the number plate and pay them a visit..... rather than chasing them and putting everyone at risk when there are other cars around?

Lots of motorists drive like twats...but there must be other means than chasing them when that has the potential to FURTHER endanger peoples lives.

And how do you do that when the plates or the car has been stolen, or unregistered or the owner Denys all knowledge and claims to be in bed and had no idea if the car was stolen and returned, if you really think that is going to work then you live in fantasy land.

Think about it, for all the cops know this guy is running because they just killed/ kidnapped some one and the body was in the boot, would you like to be told "yeah we saw him but didn't go after him coz we were gonna have a chat to him later, sorry your girlfriend was killed before he came home for a chat"

You want ways to stop people running from the cops, how about mandatory 12 months jail, that would get people thinking twice before they did a runner

And it would also get them driving twice as fast if they did do a runner, and taking more drastic measures to get away.

I just think through such a busy area...the officers in the unmarked should have been more stealth and followed him and then turned on the sirens when there wasnt busy intersections etc around.

Either way, his choice to run from the police cost him his life. Quite a bigger price of pay than a defect fine or DUI.

I know for a fact, that I'd much rather not being coming the other way when a speeding driver is trying to flee from a police car.

What busy area, it was 6:30am on a public holiday, if it was busy he would have taken other people out, and lets not forget that the cops who you are saying caused the accident were in pursuit for 37 seconds.

Oh okay, didn't realise it wasn't busy. Just looked like a main street to me.

Well no, ultimately he was the one behind the wheel who lost control...but the police chasing him was the reason he was going so fast, just like the booze bus was the reason he did a U-turn. Obviously, this was due to the fact he must of had a reason to want to get away.

I just think they should have tried to be a bit more stealth. I mean, he did a U-turn to avoid a booze bus....so police would of known if they put the sirens on he was going to gun it.

I just feel stealth would of been more appropriate due to the fact he was "spooked" and was obviously wreckless in trying to get away.

Don't drive the car then if that's the case. I love my Line, but I know the risks and issues associated with driving one. It's all part of it. Simple. Don't expect to drive an import, modified or not and not have some legal issues with the fuzz along the way. Right or wrong that's the way it is.

Maybe you need to read the story then, also add in that the cops were apparently 500 meters behind him when he crashed and the pursuit lasted all of 37 seconds

But for what reason, it could have been simply dui or some thing a lot worse

Have you seen "highway patrol" most people pull over once they know they have been spotted and the cops are behind them.

Also lets have a look at the facts, people are up in arms because there has been 5 fatal police pusuits in the last 6 months, there were 716 pusuits in 2011, 5 out of 716 is a very small number, there were 658 in 2010 with no fatalities.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
