One of the guys that dieds friend was on the news this morning saying how he thought that the driver should have had the common sense to slow down in crowded areas!
WHAT? It is a race with money on the line.
He never mentioned that the fans should have the common sense to give these speeding off road rockets the space they need to do their job.
Unfortunate typical thinking...blame someone else instead of taking responsibility for ones own actions.
Tragic event...yes. But like said above x5.

Sounds like he was probably the reason his neighborhood streets had "Slow Children Playing" signs (*) when he was a kid.Originally Posted by Triathlete
(*) No offense meant to all Children Playing out there whose brains work at normal speeds.

Don't get me started on that. In my neighborhood, this one family has a bunch of kids and they have taken it upon themselves to put out their own orange cones allovertheplace and "Slow, Children At Play" signs. Personally, I find it annoying and I want to run over the cones and all the signs right in front of them, albeit slowly.Sounds like he was probably the reason his neighborhood streets had "Slow Children Playing" signs (*) when he was a kid.

When I was a kid, I rode my bike EVERYWHERE. No helmet, no pads. My mom told me to STAY OUT OF THE STREET and when crossing, LOOK BOTH WAYS FIRST. I understand, its a neighborhood side street, and you have to be careful and drive slow, but we all have back yards here. Make your kids play there, or take them to the park or whatever. The pavement is FOR CARS. The street is NOT a playground. Teach your kids to stay out of the way of moving metal boxes. Its common sense!!
Sorry for the rant.

Amen to that. Same when I was a kid. Yesterday I was riding my motorcycle home and there were kids with a bike ramp set up dead center in the middle of a side street. Not only were they riding around without a care in the world but the ramp was a faded black which blended into the asphalt all too well. Even if you missed the kids, your car would get trashed if you hit that.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
