Remember this guy? Well, he died.

Just one example of the dumb arses who can't read here then?
What has his driving ability got to do with it if he was the passenger?
Of course we`re going to discuss his driving, given how many videos he`s posted of it.What has his driving ability got to do with it if he was the passenger?
We are all perfectly well aware that he wasn`t driving at the time.
You are doing a fine job of making yourself look a total bellend though, well done.

Never seen those videos before, disregarding stupidity for a second, that bloke could drive!
Theres nothing massively talented about powersliding (non of it was drifting) in an m5 like that for someone with a bit of experience at it. He could definately drive with no regard for safety though

His videos are compelling to watch though, terrifying but you can`t stop watching!
I stopped. I found the bits where the pedestrians were running out of the way sickening.The bloke didn't deserve to die, he had instinctive car control but insufficient self control to be allowed near one.

I`d actually never heard of him before this thread popped up.
I simply meant it`s like watching an accident happen, you don`t WANT to see it (if you`re a normal human being) it`s just hard NOT to watch it, if that makes sense.
Not condoning his driving like that on public roads at all.
I`m frankly gobsmacked he, and his friends were able to get away with it without being locked up, presumably the police in Georgia are more open to: on the spot cash "fines" with no receipts than other police forces.

First I've heard ofthe guy... I watched the first 60 seconds of the video, I don't need to see anymore.
I'm in agreement with most of the other posters. He was a grade A pillock and a danger to anyone unlucky enough to be around him. It was inevitable that sooner or later he'd be involved in a serious RTA.
As such, I'm glad that when it happened, the only people injured were those in the car with him. I'll go further and say that I'm glad he's off the road, because for every one else's safety that's exactly where he needs to be permanently kept.
This is a guy who was perfectly prepared to risk the lives of the unconcenting people around him. I have no sympathy for him or those he left behind (they must have known how he drove and they could have stopped him).
He should have been incarcerated, instead he's dead. For those endangered by this guy, the result is still positive. Did he deserve to die? I don't believe anyone does, but I'm glad he went before he managed to take anyone else with him.
Its ironic that he should have died at the hands of some one else's driving. Let's hope he didn't have a chance to breed either.

Having said that the earlier poster who likened the driving to target practice in a crowded supermarket hit the nail on the head. There were pedestrians running for it. He drifted past a car with the door open where somebody was leaning in. I can't see how anybody can condone that driving.
He was taking gamble after gamble with other people's lives and his luck was eventually going to run out. It's a shame it wasn't the police who stopped him before his friend (apprentice perhaps?) did.

Some quote on the M5 forum:
"The problem isn't you, but rather other drivers around you who are likely less experienced and there is no prediction of how they will react to you drifting around them"
Oh im sorry my bad for not reacting in time to an m5 drifiting across me with full oppo lock on on my daily commute.
Would these people react the same if this "legend" had drifted across their kids?
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick on that comment. I read it that it was directed at the people saying "He can drive, he's not hurting anyone" etc. "The problem isn't you, but rather other drivers around you who are likely less experienced and there is no prediction of how they will react to you drifting around them"

I agree with the comment. Even if you are a driving god, you cannot pre-empt people's reactions to a broadside M5 with smoke bellowing out the rear! Hence why what he did was completely insane!
It's not sycanymore. jjr1 said:
What has his driving got to do with his death?
Because his driving was obviously idolized and copied by his friends. M5 owned by nutter hits tree and kills occupants, its not difficult to figure this out. As I said before they had the same mindset and its pure luck that he didn't take someone out way before this. I watched the video but it's not 'racing' in any form. It's pretty close to a getaway driver running for his life at all costs which is pathetic just for the sake of the internet. I switched off at the point the passenger laughed in delight as they flashed past a pedestrian. Mindless f
king idiots the pair of them. He wasn't driving on this occasion but it caught up with him in the end, nobody is surprised and good riddance. The roads are dangerous enough without people like this 'inspiring' others to do the same.

All driving carries risk. My point is that there's a threshold at which the risk becomes unacceptable and that threshold is different for each observer.
Are you really suggesting that some people would think that the driving shown in his video is acceptable on a public road? really?Disco You said:
My point was that your surprise was based on the nature of his driving, but it wasn't that which killed him.
I'm afraid it was the nature of his passengers driving which killed him, which was exactly the same as his own driving. Like a total fkwit on public roads - I'm amazed no innocent road users were harmed throughout his lunacy spree. From the posted video it seems that the only reason he got through it was because others slowed down or move out of his way.This guy was a total f
