I feel sorry for the poor girl who will have to live the rest of her life in the state the accident left her, that is horribly horribly sad.

I agree, everyone is making light of it and its bloody awful.

The guy obviously knew nothing about cars etc. People say education, but what class tells you that? Common sense is something that is gained through experience and unfortunately some dont get to learn from their mistakes.

When on my P's I used to clutch in down hills etc, did bugger all though.

That's just really poor form.

Hey fellar, go shove it fair up the kiber pass. This was a an absolute tragedy, one that's effected many people from southern Tasmania.

If stupidity is isolated to the southern island state, well, I must have missed something.

I am sick to death of nob heads, at every opportunity, hanging crap on the place Ive called home for 37 years.

One day, if you give yourself the opportunity, I am sure you would like what this place has to offer. But then again, after that comment of yours, I'm not so sure I'd like to live anywhere near you.

FFS, this just keeps getting better.

person with really really poor sense of what's appropriate to say about a death and disfigurement.

This is a tragedy on so many levels. The driver's family, the passengers and their families. It is easy to sit here and pass judgment without knowing exactly what happened? maybe a little thought should be used before people start typing.

its all the rubbish they are fed on tv from aca, 60minutes, today tonight.... about turning your car off to save fuel but use 10x more starting it again

global warming, fuel prices going up, qlders being charged per km via tracking devices, rego going up....

its a tragic waste, and from what i read in the story he wasnt being a "hoon", whats even worse is the girl who will loose half her face, she will have to live with that for the rest of her life

i feel for them and their families

Nice to see that some people don't let tragedy get in the way of their sick and twisted sense(s) of humour.
