Agree, remove above post.....out of order

What's wrong with the post?

[MajorProblem]

I don't see how criticising the daily mail's reporting style causes offence, but I suppose these days everyone gets offended at something.

[Geekman]

I love it how when somebody dies they automatically become a hero, even if they were exactly the type of person we'd all hate when they were alive.

Sure, but 4 people on 1 quad = 1 driver, 3 passengers. I might hate the driver when I see him on the road, but passengers might not be there entirely of their own volition. Quick "blast around the garden" could escalate very quickly without an ability of the passengers to leave...

It is a bit in bad taste.
It was a stupid thing to be doing, but people did die.

Bruised and a bit broken then point and laugh, but not when they died.

Not offended, just think very bad taste and pointless post in tragic circumstances.

I may have missed where you were criticising the Mail along with why you thought appropriate to submit post in 'a bit council'

WTF is an "A350Z" anyway? Does my log book need correcting?

4 people on a quad in a garden? Unless they've got a country estate I find that quite unlikely. I see these kind of people all the time - what's far more likely is that he said "who wants to come for a ride on my quad", they said "yes" and then this happened.

At their age, you know what you're doing. It's a shame it had to result in several people losing their lives, but if you make those kinds of decisions, you only have yourself to blame. I wouldn't turn up at their funerals and point and laugh, but equally I don't feel much sympathy for any of them.

You just know Journalist A said "what car is that" and journalist B replied "A 350Z"

My thoughts too.

It hardly shows any loss for society.

[Jimmy Recard]

I also don't find the post upsetting at all.

[sunnydude]

At least people on here aren't randomly pointing fingers at others and calling them racist...

If you can be bothered, go back 275 pages and I'll be quoting quad bikes as full on council

Yes of course we will then have a roadside shrine to the dearly departed. With an ode to the " promising" yoof.

Yes it's tragic but don't go near the damn things. Unless yr a farmer and gathering sheep.

[HRL]

There's a scumbag that tears down the road past my house once or twice a week on an unlicensed quad bike. Full-on 3.14 key.

He'll meet his maker one day soon I'm sure. Possibly not soon enough as it's so deafeningly loud you can hear him coming from about half a mile away.

I've just sold my used quad bike

Then again, it wasn't road legal and was never used on the road and was mostly for horse stuff
