RIP Paul Walker

In the video of the crash site it is clearly in a somewhat built up area, there are cars parked all over and a few buildings around. Lets say he was doing 90MPH in a 45MPH zone, lost control and instead of hitting a lamp post he hit a car with someone's 3 year old child in. You can if and but all you like. You could be fine, but in this case the best thing happened. They died and nobody else did, simple as that.

Risk your own life on a completely clear road, fine, but don't expect anyone to actually be upset about the fact you practically killed yourself.

So what if they were on this road, doing 80mph for argument sake (x3 over limit) and had an accident, would everybody still be calling them the names they are? I find it hard to believe that anyone would stick to the limit on the above road.

I don't know that road but yes in the US most stick to the speed limits be it 25 or 10mph near schools.
HWY 52 west in FL is 55mph and that's in the country side.

If anyone breaks the speed limit they get what's coming to them.

The best thing that could have happened is that nobody died. :confused:

Edit: Never mind, it's very unlikely in this situation that they wouldn't have been killed?

100MPH into a solid object sideways is going to kill someone.
