Crash scene investigation

[Pentoman]

On itv now. One young bloke ragging a type-R in a 30 and stacks way off the road and into a tree -computer estimates speed at 72mph. He blinds his mate in one eye. Other is another young bloke in a fiesta ST with big wheels and wuad exhausts stacking it off a dual carriageway during rush hour and killing a passenger. All told a pretty shocking display for Young male drivers, especially as these both seemed to happen in the same county within 24hours of each other. There was a camera in the fiesta which had footage of the driver (banned btw) on the motorway accelerating away from an Impreza STi and claiming to have 'just wasted a Scooby'...
All in all the detective work done is pretty impressive. Makes you wonder about those countries that don't have or can't afford this type of detailed investigation. It must be bedlam?

Did you see the brake test they did with a Galaxy to compare skid marks at 30? The police Galaxy locked all its wheels, no abs at all. They even showed it in slo mo. Wierd.

CTR driver seems a bit of a pleb. 'I was only doing 30'

that type r clipped that curb and the driver probably bailed on the throttle, snap lift off oversteer, espically on that cambered bend...... took a bloody good whack.....

For crash investigation they may need to measure the coefficient of friction between tyres and road surface and stopping distances on particular road surface, hence some Police vehicles can disable ABS to carry out these tests.

Laying in the hospital bed..

'Do you remember anything of the crash?'

'Oh no, nothing at all..'

Yeah he's definately going to drop himself in it isn't he.

Can't complain, as it's tw8ts like him keeping up second-hand values of EP3s

What an utterly tragic waste of life. And you have to feel for that copper who held the girl's hand as she passed away, unable to do anything to help her.

Is the a series or just a one off ?
I enjoyed the investigation - and yes tragic waste of young life.

Eight killed in one accident in County Donegal a few days ago. Absolute tragedy.

I saw this and thought what a horrendous thing to have happened. I honestly had to take a moment when i read that on the beeb.

It's evidently not doing an awful lot to prevent morons creating carnage here, so I wonder what they're missing out on. Especially when the perp just (?) gets a ban.

They should get offenders on community service cleaning up after RTAs and going with cops to tell the families of those that die.

Not to mention your insurance premiums

[Pentoman]

The program definitely made me think about driving safely... The way the police just treated it like it was totally normal when these people died just driving along mundanely.
