    COME ON!!

    NO ONE WANTS PEOPLE TO HURT, AND FAMILY MEMBERS SUFFER….

    WHEN WILL THESE IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVERS REALISE THAT APART FROM HURTING THEMSELVES (AND THEY COULD HAVE DROWNED IF THE CAR HAD NOT STOPPED ON THE BANK), THEY COULD HAVE WIPED OUT AN INNOCENT PARTY COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

    WE HAVE A SPEED LIMIT THAT IS BEING IGNORED, RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT OTHERS, WHICH IS BEING IGNORED, AND WHY ARE WE NOT UP IN ARMS ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD?

    Oh..were you there? because no details of the accident have been released..the police are seeking witnesses..perhaps you should come forward or call crime stoppers…I don’t know the person and neither was I there..so based on those two facts alone I will not cast judgement…

    ‘It is what it is’ needs to take his head out of wherever it is and realise that the damage caused to this car could never have been caused IF the car had been travelling at 20mph (35kph) – the legal speed limit!
