Hanggang 40MpH ang mga Standard Frontal offset crash tests, in order to pass.

Any speed above that Bahala na ang Diyos.

A lot of us were young and crazy once. I myself learned the hard way and was extremely lucky no one got hurt or killed. I'm also thankful my dad (RIP) cared enough to keep an eye on my driving and not just give me a car and leave me alone, until he knew i was responsible enough.

Coincidence too that just last Friday, a former officemate and I were having a talk and our topic drifted to schoolmates killed in car accidents back in high school (alam niyo na yung usong car na yan nung panahon na yon). Mon Tulfo also mentioned DUI in his article last week as it seems another college student was killed also in a car accident, supposedly while DUI.

yeah we all went thru that reckless stage

dami ko close calls dati

fast driving inspired by F&F hehe

sabi ko nga doon sa isang thread there are people who don't live past that stage

We are the lucky ones that went thru that stage without incident, if meron man we live to tell about it.

In hindsight, i'm thankful that deal we had to get the 200sx when i was in 4th year HS/1st year college fell through (in turn, i ended up with my trusty pick-up for most of my college life). Given my driving skills and immaturity at that time i would have most likely crashed that tail-happy vehicle, big time.

I'm thinking the parents may have allowed their kids to drive around freely and go gimmik alone with the car at that time since they thought being inside the confines of AAV would keep them from doing anything harmful. That's a false sense of security as heck, even in my village where there's hardly any straightway to take your usual 1.6 to 2.0L beyond 60kph unless you drive real hard and run your car through the humps, there have already been some fatal crashes (yes, teenagers too).

I wonder why teenagers really want speed? Makakarating din naman sila sa destination nila kahit hindi nila i race ang engine. Tsk!

Buckle up for safety. They might have lived (though perhaps have been seriously injured) if they had not been thrown out of the car.

From some reports on the scene, the driver was gunning it from the hump at the previous corner (unless he jumped the hump), saw a motorbike exit the townhouse, braked and swerved to avoid hitting the motorbike, lost control and hit the sidewalk on the opposite side, steered trying to regain control and then hit the lamppost.

Acacia Avenue, where the accident happened, is pretty wide. One lane is wide enough to have 2 vans running alongside each other. A row of cars is parked on the right side of the road leading up to the gate of the Townhouse which is what prevented the driver from spotting from afar the exit motorbike.
