Re:Joetta Shumba: Driver jailed for 160mph death crash on M62 by hNewsLover99 on Monday May 09, 2016 @10:09PM (#11664748)
Why are cars and motorcycles that can travel at 160 mph street-legal anywhere? Such vehicles should be legal on ly on private, properly-engineered high-speed tracks. Audi and all other car makers are hereby put on notice that it is foreseeable that such vehicles will inevitably be driven at reckless speeds on public roads so as to maim and kill drivers, passengers and pedestrians, and that they are liable for such manifestly foreseeable misuse. Unsafe at hyper-speed.

I cannot imagine 160 mph as anything sane, even getting up to a hundred in even a modern non sports car is noticeable. To do 160 is crazy.

But the takeaway here is - she was in the rear seat and died, he was driving and survived. Modern car safety is impressive. Even if driven by morons.
