Billy has had to deal with a lot of tragedy in his young life…no one should have to deal with loosing their hair in their mid 20s and now on top of everything else he’s stuffed his Supra and copped a driving ban.

Is he still commenting on F1 races?
If so, why?

That looks like a lot of significant damage for a 30mph crash.

No wonder he pleaded guilty. He wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if he went to trial.

Very icy night by the look of it. Still terrible parking though.

Young man who likes fast cars has a crash, nobody hurt, and hands himself in, not alot to see here really.
Cant see it helping his broadcasting career tho.
I was working in the toca paddock when he was racing, didnt know him, but he was making a name for himself as a possible future star driver, his crash was awful.

Not really. He's clearly been doing 50+ in a 30 zone had a bad crash and got lucky no one was hurt.

Why would being young excuse that?

If you want to drive like a tit do it out of town.

From the wreckage and choice of car it looks like he was driving Fast and Furiously.

It looks as if 2 of the cars damaged are in the drive where his car ended up. Whilst there is a lot of damage to his car there may not be for the rest.

I suspect whoever said it looks icy as probably hit the nail on the head. He failed to realise it was icy, accelerated and spun it straight in to the location it ended up in.

There’s no indication in the report he was speeding or driving like a loon just not paying attention

Exactly. When many of the public think of "speeding" it's this sort of stuff that's in our minds. Like my next door neighbour in SE London whose car has just been written off while parked in our road of terraced houses because some twit got half an inch too close to it. Down the whole of one side. "But someone came the other way and didn't give way!" the driver exclaimed. So why didn't you simply stop mate? Twit. redface

Because he was probably driving a wkpanzer and doesn't need to stop, the smaller vehicle always has to give way no matter what the road rules are.
