Let's keep it on the track!!!

I can see exactly how this accident happened. These boneheads were probably doing 100mph and were in the adjacent lane to this poor girl. They figured she'd stay in her

I can see exactly how this accident happened. These boneheads were probably doing 100mph and were in the adjacent lane to this poor girl. They figured she'd stay in her lane while they blew past, and she probably changed lanes and never saw them. Just a guess, but that's my best estimate of how these little pukes would blame her for it.

Enjoy your prison showers, boys.

RIP to the girl.

what bothers me most about this story is the exact circumstances of the way these guys were racing. it always pisses me off when someone sees my car and has to start driving like a retard, like what are you trying to prove? even if your car is faster than mine, we'll never see each other again, it's not like a rivalry between friends. people think they're adding inches by beating other cars on the road.

I wonder what the actual speed limit was at the point of the crash. If you're going fast enough over the speed limit it can be considered a felony. And, since a death occurred during the commission of a felony, those involved should have been charged with murder. It sounds like these guys actually got off easy.

The article says they were charged with vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving.

It's tough to really choose an appropriate sentence for them I think. On one side I feel they should be locked away forever for taking a life out of stupidity. On the flip side, they are stupid kids who made a bad decision and paid a severe price for it (a death of an innocent bystander). Surely a crash and a death wasn't their intention. Locking away a 19 year old for a lifetime for a lapse in judgement in some respects is harsh...he has a whole life to feel terrible about what he did whether he's behind bars or not. I'm not condoning their behavior by any means. If no one was killed, they would have gotten off much easier. The death itself was just a very unfortunate additional circumstance.

They got what is coming to them. It's idiots like that who drive up the high cost of insurance and give decent sports car owners a bad rap.

hope the family finds peace.

what is it about a---holes who every time they come up to a Z want to prove something. one time i had a redneck in a ford pickup truck!! pull up beside me at a red light and rev up his engine like he wanted to race......jerk

The one thing though is that they didn't even seem to care and were more concerned about going to jail than what their stupidity caused. At one point they even tried to blame Aly in their argument. This happened almost 1 year ago and they still haven't changed their attitude.

So irritating!!! Just last week I had a lifted jeep rev on me then drive around me on the right side in the bicycle lane when I didn't even have any cars in the lane to my left. I wasn't even going the speed limit since there are always cops around that street at night. But of course when you need one they're nowhere to be found.

One day you are going to school, hitting on girls, running errands...the next day you are sentenced to years in prison...life flipped upside down.

One day you're hanging with your friends, full future ahead of you. The next day you're driving responsibly and someone ends your life because he wanted to race. That's worse.
