From The V Board...

Hey guys, this is BLUESTREAK from the v board, some of you might've heard of me...anywayz...I used to have a sentra se-r spec v. Well, I had a wreck with 3 of my friends in the car, and one of the girls didn't have her seatbelt on, she was ejected from the car and died on the scene. God spared me life and i walked away with a fractured skull and only a few other minor injuries...now i'm forced to live with this guilt for the rest of my life...and also the state is charging me with murder and trying me as an adult and i'm only 17. Anywayz, I'm in God's hands so don't wory about me, I just want to get the message accross to you to THINK WHEN YOU DRIVE! And I made this movie to possibly affect some of you and slow you down out there. Anywayz, Here is the link...God Bless! James

Damn, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I'll have you in my prayers. And the video was AWESOME. Really makes me think, I'm sure it will have that effect on some of the others here too...:( :( :(

Damn man! I'm sorry. That hit's close to home with me. I just had two guy's I know die in acciedents over the summer. One, which was one of my best friends, was a complete accident. The other guy was really an aquaintence. He was drunk driving, and ended up killing himself, and the other kid in the front seat. There were two guy's in the back, they spent a lot of time in the hospital. It is so hard.

I thought Bluestreak's post was a joke by some MADD mom, until I found this:

Still, I think the important thing here is something that Mr. T said so eloquently:I will slow down until I believe that I am in full control of my vehicle...
When you combine lack of real-world experience, a new car and a girl you're trying to impress... that is just asking for trouble:( If you've got two other people in the car and its your first day trying to rally that car around, then let those other people out and go to a closed course... and really learn how to control that thing:smoker2:

HOWEVER... sorry to hear that they are charging you with murder. That seems like the worng thing to do, since you didn't purposely go out and kill that girl. Maybe there should be another law that covers accidently killing your friends that won't tarnish you for life. Unless you're a total cold-blooded killer, you're gonna have to live with what happened for a really long time... and that can be punishment enough. Sorry it had to happen, man:(
