If they're stupid to:
1. think that they have fast/decent cars
2. think they're good drivers with only 2 weeks experience
perhaps they should have let these dumb pingpingpingpings crash. Eliminate retards from the gene pool. Having said that, most 17 year olds from Rocko already have kids, so probably too late...

What they did was stupid but I'm sure some of us on here (myself included) did some dumb shit when they first got their licences.
Fuck me if the horse in this thread was any higher you would need to hire a helicopter to get you up to mount it.

yeah but say 170 in a 70. Thats not dumb thats just plain retarded. Although i remember when all my mates got their lisences any stupid activity was normally on an oval somewhere doing lawn digs hahaha grass adds 100HP
Google maps shows this as a wide, 2 lane road with a median strip.
Seems not too bad for a squirt.

^^ You've never actually driven along it though, have you? There's side-roads around bends that you can barely see, and pair that with the fact that every prick in Beeliar/Success/Hammond Park/Cockburn/South Lake likes to pull out without looking. Not safe at all.
I've been in =
A jzx100 drifting the spearwood rd roundabout
A GTR doing another 50-70 on top of what these guys were doing
A few runs of my own
Along that road.
Wont somebody think of the children

Did you do all that merely two weeks after passing your license?
My VC Commodore would top at 130kmh.
I am being as ass about it, but we have all done stupid shit in cars before.

I do agree with you TJ, but it's a time-and-place thing. The road *may* be wide enough to support high speed driving, but at 8.30pm, there is too high a chance of other traffic being around.
Personally, I see a 170k run being safer at 1.30am than at 8.30pm. But that's not to say I haven't done equally as silly things, but not after holding a license for only two weeks.
Of course - I preach time and place.
I dont condone the actions, but I cant go and blast them when Ive done worse.

With the obviously advanced skills of perception, they may have thought that this was an apropriate time frame to do it, and that what you percieve to be the correct time, incorrect.

In my day it was a series 100 straight 6 vs a chevvy suburban v8
v8 was ahead until it hit speed cut at about $1.75
Noone needs to judge them except the magistrate. They will learn an important lesson from this and thankfully not from injuring anyone.

But seriously it only takes one beating from your old man to knock some sense into you. Gone are the days of high speed runs with small fines :(

Seeing as the commodore had a dirty big formula tech sticker on it, I'd say the swift won.

Very lucky nothing happened, hopefully they learn from this.

Their actions were stupid, sure, especially given one of them only had 2 weeks of experience driving alone on the roads, but we've all done it. At least these 2 will hopefully learn from their experience that there is a time and place for everything.

meh i'm siding with Tj on this one, not a wise or clever move by no means but fuck me i done the same and much worse in my driving history.
They got caught, i've been caught no amount of nagging or laws are going to make it stop for most people it takes 1 of 2 things before they slow down and act responsibly. Sadly one is the death due to a car accident of someone close and the other is just time and growing up.

LOL!
I remember a afternoon some years back being in a car seated somewhere behind the wheel while the driver persued a vy ss ute. Speeds up to 240kmh on Roe were reached. Very silly thing that was no doubt and as a occupant of that vechile I do not condone it.

Negative, was about 12 years ago, long story to it but managed to talk my way out of the speeding fine and they pinged me for not having p plates on the bike...it had snapped iff fron the wind force going that fast :P
Time and place. Should get some windows stickers made up for that...

If they're stupid to:
1. think that they have fast/decent cars
2. think they're good drivers with only 2 weeks experience
perhaps they should have let these dumb pingpingpingpings crash.
But they didn't, which should elevate them to celebrity status.
It proves they can drive
They did not die
The road safety rules regarding speed are a fallacy
Like TJ said how high is that fucking high horse you are on? Must be higher than my ivory tower!
Haha I am sure you recall a few years back our little encounter, which turned into a large one for me :)

" If you allow kids to have alcohol, people will get hurt. What the hell was THIS car, certainly modified, doing even existing, let alone in the hands of a kid. We need to seriously look at the power of the vehicles our kids are driving, and restrict the HP they have access to until they have proven themselves capable to handle a car.
"
this guy made me rage, even if it was a Swift GTI, you're barely looking at 100hp at the fly. When the fuck are people going to learn that HP has nothing to do with it.
Dickhead is going to be a dickhead in any car. How much HP are people allowed? 50? Meaning braking power and suspension is going to match the engine power, making it a worse car to have at high speed anyway.
also found this funny
Just thinking aloud Posted at 9:08 AM Today
Good point Safehands. If it is ok to limit the size of motorbike you can ride when you get your license, 250cc, then why not restrict the size of car engine? 1.5L maybe...
swift is 1.3, so all good. got room for stroker kit.

There are so many comments of people out raged that these young kids are allowed to drive such powerful cars
is there something I'm missing?

so just about everyone drives a performance car on here and nobody has, a. had a drag race?. b. exceeded the speed limit? we've all done dumb stuff in cars, so we cant really point the finger and if you havnt, i think your in the wrong place??? :S

fuck i hate people that think restricting cars will stop retards being retards.
if a retard wanted to drag in an excel, he will drag in the excel.
and if he wanted to hit top speed, he will.. just in a more slower fashion.
Fuck there is some retards on perth now.
Nest has been stirred.

Still no word on who won?
My old 3L na VL did alright as a first car, as a manual was quicker than "voot" from here's vt off the line. He was adamant his had top end so we started from 100km/hr on roe. The difference was even though we were p platers we still had the sense to try the high speed stuff on the highway. Looking back we were no less little fuckwits than these guys are, dont think much has changed.
Oh and The VL took him.

fuucck, must of just went past before the tools, i saw 3 coppers with bikes pulled to the side of the road with hand helds, i went past at about 80 and shat myself, but they didnt follow

Got a pic of my XU6 off clock on the old part of Roe one night. Just past the golf course, coming up to Kalamunda Rd. Got pretty sketchy to say the least.
End of the day it was just runs. Go on any cruise, speeds above that will get seen.

i was on beeliar drive when they came speeding past, they were dodging and dicing threw traffic. 3 cops on motor bikes got them

We've all done it so I say, way over limit on residential road and top speeding cars on fwy. Looking back now, it was a mistake and was being a dumb pingpingpingping on P's.
Though i live next to beeliar drive and i would not be impressed to see these pingpingpingpings doing 170 and dodging traffic. I think right away shit, my parents, sister, gf use that road everyday. Going to get maccas at cockburn central could turn into a disaster.
Advice: do it at another place where there aren't residents i.e over the hills. Or even armadale is good enough (where boongs are)
Marti
04-06-2011, 01:22 PM
The other thing is that there are alot of drunk pingpings stumbling home from the pub, they would be a mess if they got hit by one of these idiots. I'm glad they got done. There's always police on beeliar drive because of these idiots

cleaver. the difference being on a highway like that one is more likely to kill only oneself. rather than take out some poor sod minding their own business is all.
