I hope everyone will recover but, if drink driving was involved, then I feel sorry for the owner of the wall.

WillowTheWhisp · 12-05-2007, 08:14

Heard the report on the radio this morning - not only drunk driver but the lad who was cut out of the boot had actually been travelling in the boot! I hope others will learn from this stupidity.

what if someone was walking past there at the time?
i would hate to imagine what would have happened!!

Yeah teenagers,it just said on Rock FM The driver was19 and was drunk,the lad in boot was 16.All together there was 6 in the car

including the lad in the boot,and it was a white Vauxhall Astra.

stupid idiots...... what would have happened if that car had exploded?? the fire Brigade wouldn't have even thought to look in the boot for somebody....

When will they ever learn that cars are not toys!!

***Mr D*** · 12-05-2007, 11:24

Idiots. thankfully no innocents where hurt.

Wonder what the driver will get for probably.

Drink driving, No Insurance, Probably no licence, MOT and possibaly previous.

Lets see - £200 Fine and banned for 6 months.

I seriously think the age limit of driving should be raised to 21. We all at the age of 18 think nothing will happen to us, and they think they are invincible

I think by the time you get to 21 life has taught you that little bit more and sensibility kicks in.

mallard · 12-05-2007, 11:25

They should of nowe drinking and driveing don,t mix but how can you tell them at that age

grego · 12-05-2007, 11:26

Hope they all recover and learn from this, think they should all be prosecuted, anyone in a car with a drunk driver is just as much to blame IMO.

Yes I agree .... if you are aware that the driver has been drinking then yes they are just as much to blame and YES you get done for aiding and abetting ....... not very much when you have killed someone is it
