[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extremely sad news is not even the way to begin this. Three students were in an accident near the Pentagon, their BMW hit a Lexus. Two did not survive. I am hearing these are students from a Fairfax county high School. This is beyond tragic.[/quote]

It sucks. It’s a bummer. But it’s not “tragic.” This doesn’t meet any definition of tragedy [/quote]

Confirming my longstanding suspicion that some of the worst humans on earth hang out on DCUM.[/quote]

Yep. They’re easy to spot - they’re the ones defending their choice to provide their 17 year old kid with a BMW or other sports car. [/quote]

These BMWs are really fast and hi-powered; they are not like other cars.  [/quote]

+1.  They are like the pit-bull dogs of the car world.

They both really need to be banned because they are just too dangerous.[/quote]

How anyone can advocate banning guns but say nothing about banning high powered cars is obtuse. No one needs a car that can go faster than 75-80 mph. Cars should be equipped with a GPS sensor that prevents them from exceeding the posted speed limit on whatever road they’re on. Self-driving cars manage to not speed. Human drivers should have the same technology imposed on them. [/quote]

I drive a kid to and from practice in Springfield (from DC)—395 is a death trap any night of the week coming back at 9pm. People are racing each other and weaving out of lanes at top speed. He’s 17 and I will not let him drive to/from practice.

Drivers have gotten considerably worse everywhere since Covid.  [/quote]

I think the car racing on busy roads is less about post covid driving, and more about social media live streaming and video clicks.[/quote]
