Two senior SF members killed in Donegal

[SPN]

...a 17 year old driving a Honda Integra!! Absolutely ridiculous.
Get up on a high horse if you will about pre judging the outcome but you look at the accident site and the vehicles and it's pretty clear what occured!
I know it's a tragedy for friends and family but the authorities should use this accident and others like it to show the effects of excess speed. It is more important than allowing time to grieve!

You see young lads up and down the country driving these super powered cars and every one of them will tell you they know the risks and can "handle" the car.
Forget alcohol, drugs, etc. The one common factor in practically all road crashes is the involvement of a young male driver.
I'm sure alcohol has been consumed prior to many of the incidents but you rarely hear of 50 or 60 year olds being invloved in fatal car crashes whereas they make up a high % of those put off the road for drink driving!

Exceeding the posted limit is a factor in less than 10% of accidents.

Driver inattention is a factor in 85%.

Drunk and Drugged driving is a factor in +/-40%

It was last night when they reported it.

Well said. Boy racer strikes again.

Bit early to blame anyone. The teens family is also suffering. At least wait for the results. A photo of an accident is hardly proof of who is to blame.

The problem is that the inquest and it findings won't get nearly the same attention the accident itself gets in the media. My condolences to those mourning their loss.

Now is the time to target the parents of boy racers. Not in 6 months time after the inquest. There seems to be no point in targeting the racers themselves, particularly the Donegal branch of that community many of whom drive like crazed lunatics.

No more really to be said at this point. If possible as well, can people take the arguements about Boy racers and their contribution to road accidents onto a different thread. Until people know what happened in this case, then speculation is not only futile, but possibly distressing to family and friends of those involved
