lol I like how they start the story "A Mitsubishi car " do they not know an FTO when they see it

So who needs LSD, ABS, Blue seats and so on lol

But all that aside its sad to see it and hope driver is ok.

Call me harsh, but if you're being an ass then you deserve it.

Wouldn't mind the blue seats.

But looking at the pic it seems that speed was not a factor in this as the scrap marks on the road are not that long, I would say that the driver was distracted or somthing like that.

Just saw this on tv news..

He looked ok, standing with a blanket around him. There was a green P on the car, fto drivers better be careful for the next few months..

i agree with you, i drive past there a few times a day and all it would take is a small distraction at the wrong moment

lol at some of the comments:

What makes these P Platers think they are invisible?? They gamble with their lives and with the lives of the people on the road. Unfortunately, it will be the good P Platers that will suffer. Where do they get the money to pay for such cars?? Thats who should be held responsible.

god damn invisible P platers!

i agree, the city road can be quite complicated and lots of distractions on both sides of the road(if you know what i mean).
Can be quite a bit of adventure if coming down from the country side.

AHEM...

"I am a P plater but I am also smarter than all of you idiots. We *are* invincible muhahaha. Old people (i.e. over 25) should get off the road and stop complaining."

Lol.
