Notice this from the article The 2008 BMW was split in two in the wreck, which happened at **3:45 a.m**., said Lt. Mike Burroughs, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol Troop B. I’m sure there wasn’t much lights other than their headlights either. And was drinking involved? ---

I got into an accident with my girlfriend sitting passenger. She was injured as well as I was. My insurance covered all her medical bills and gave her a settlement to stop her from sueing my insurance company. That’s what insurance does. It covers people’s medical bills in other cars as well as the passengers in your car. So that whole it’s the passengers own responsibility for driving with a stupid driver thing goes out the window. ---

> [@sedlmeier101](#): > > how could you sue the drivers family…he was over 18 so his parents would take no liability its 21 when your parents have no liability over you anymore, so unless the driver was over 21; then his parents are still responsible for those kids deaths by their child acting like a idiot. ---

> [@ultradriver10000](#): > > dibs on motor/tranny and maybe seats? How easily do guts clean off leather? hmm the smell might be more of a factor. Honestly the passengers shouldn’t sue. If my kid was dumb enough to get into a car with a moron at the wheel, then well I can’t claim that my genes don’t carry the capability of a darwin award in them. Would it be in bad taste to have a bar-b-q and then during dinner brag about how my kid flew further than the others? I joke, I’m sure I would be pretty devastated. But I have learned to accept tragedy as inevitable. I would be more upset if someone else hit my kids car then if he was doing stupid in one. I mean how am I gonna blame someone else because my kid was stupid enough to be in the car with their genious. Who is more foolish the fool or the fool who follows him. ---

Waste of a nice car. Stupid kids with stupid parents… If you want to buy your kids a nice car get them something slow cause kids will do stupid things 100000% of the time. I had an 87 bronco, i jumped train tracks in it… Looking back that was stupid but i was only doing like 35. Had i been behind the wheel of an m5 im not sure i would be dead but the car would most likely had some tickets at least. ---

this may open up a can of worms… but this is a perfect reason as to why parents should NOT be letting their kids have nice cars like this… i dont care how well they act like their an adult, they still have WAY more growing up to do… a car with that kind of capability is tough to handle by a grown adult twice their age… so sad actually, they were dumb, but no one deserves to go out like that [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-speed-run-ends-very-badly-for-some-idiots/42488.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/top-speed-run-ends-very-badly-for-some-idiots/42488.md?page=3)
