Young driver had crashed his own car

November 26, 2004

P-PLATE death driver Emile Dousset had already been in an accident in his own Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 before the smash that claimed his life and his two friends.

Mourners visiting the crash site yesterday said no one had been seriously injured in the earlier crash.

"I didn't know him well but I know for a fact he had already crashed his own R33 about six months ago," Stephen Deas said.

"It is just really sad, especially knowing that he had been in an accident before in such a similar car."

Emile's father Graeme has already revealed his son did not have permission to drive his father's higher-grade model Nissan Skyline GT-R R34.

That car was named best GTR in NSW at a Nissan Skyline show on the Central Coast earlier this year.

Second placegetter, GTR-R R33 owner Trent Stibbard, said the cars themselves were safe, and had the suspension and top-class brakes to support their big engine.

"It's more dangerous to drive around in those hotted-up, four-cylinder Mitsubishi Mirages that don't have the equipment to deal with such power," Mr Stibbard said.

Meanwhile, the mother of an 18-year-old P-plate driver said she wasn't able to send her son to a driving course because they were not provided at Beechwood, near Port Macquarie.

The woman said her son Daniel had driven his $26,000 Nissan 180 SX for little over a week before was in an accident. While he was unharmed, Mrs Shipley believes he will end up like Mr Dousset unless he receives some training.

"They have the cars but they don't have the experience and I'm just scared that Daniel's small crash could be followed by a much bigger one," said Mrs Shipley, who has written to Mr Scully with her concerns.

can anyone confirm these details?

Not much else to say.

Condolences.

This is probably the 1 area that i think the victorian police are right about. In victoria we have a 125kW/tonne power restriction whilst on your P's (first 3 years of your licence).

You do enough stupid things when you have just started driving, you dont need the added danger of having a super powerful car. And you can still have a lot of fun in a car under that limit.

regardless of the circumstances, RIP. If I was a family member or friend of someone that was lost - some of these posts would be a little upsetting.
