It's funny Neils, I just got rid of my Novice sign today. I passed my test.

Well look at this video and think about what you said here in this thread.
That you are able to take your mind of driving for a few seconds.
You cant !!!!. Simple as that. Now watch the video and it makes sense.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I do take responsibility. If (doubtful it will) anything happens, I'll take the fault for it.

Whats the point for taking the blaim and responsibility when you ran someone over due to a text message while driving ?
It just doesnt sink in with you. You play with lives for that idotic text message you have to do while driving. Has nothing to do with taking responsibility after.

You actually saying that you rather ruin someones live because you must text message while driving a car. Now that is showing some responsibilty !!!

Get a grip dude you really should go back to driving school. They shouldnt take the N down from you. Which doesnt mean novice but in your case NOOB.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Except your guys point is retarded. Taking minute amounts of attention from driving is not that big of a deal. Think about the amount of attention people get taken away from having fights or kids. Do we make laws that say nobody can drive with kids? No.

So we are retarded for not texting while driving ?. Rofl you really are some piece of work. Said it before and will say again, I spend 8 hours a day on the road and see lots of shit. And roughly 80 % is caused by kids like yourself. Playing with their phone, or whatever.

When you driving you are responsibil for you and anyone around you. By texting, drinking, using drugs, smacking the kids in the back youre creating a hazard for you and anyone around you. Driving isnt playing a racing game and shouldnt be treated that way.

Grow up and take responsibilty for your actions.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

You're flogging a dead horse on this one. I couldn't care less.

Well your moral standards are way up there. Because people like you who thinks they are on top of the world while driving a car and can do anything insurance on cars went up. Since youre considering yourself as a really great driver and none of comments made may change your mind I sincerly wonder which hole you live in.

When the dickens you get of your high horse and start seeing things as they are. I truly hope I never ran into you on a road while your sending small text messages. Your ignorant, sort minded and above all, you dare to takes lives in your hand by doing that.

Since you think this a normal behaviour and is nothing wrong you propably drink and drive aswell. For that matter youll propably use drugs while driving aswell. Since playing with lives is normal too you those 2 mentioned here above will be normal aswel.

Time to grow up, look back at what your said and think again. Youre just a kid, nothing more nothing less. Tottaly unrespectfull against anything that lives.

I am staggered to see peoples reactions here about driving and texting.
Unbelievable that people play with other ones lives and think its oke.

I spend about 8 hours a day on the road and seen lots of shit due too stupid mistakes. A text message isnt to be done during driving. While youre doing that you play with someone else his live. Youre not focused on driving while your texting.

You dont oversee the road and you might miss something. All of a sudden you hit someone. You hit a young girl because your texting while driving. Now you can explain to the parents and the girl you were texting because you dont see the problem while driving and texting.

Saying you dont see the problem says a lot about you and your moral thoughts. Moose hase it spot on saying youre a ass. If you seriously believe that I feel sorry for you. Responsibilty is all were it cames down too.

The stream was good, the guys who got interviewed and offcourse the commentary was great to hear. Kevin did our first stint and I was watching on stream to GTAl. He shouted in Vent he was going to disconnect so I was needed in the race chair. LFS open and running so joined as fast as I could. Totally forgetting that the stream was open. I drove my stint listing to the commentary. Not good for your health when somebody screams a incidents occurs. It scars the living daylight out of you. Other then that great comments were made.

Gongratulation Just Driving. Well deserved victory !!!
We had a terrible night, but thats live.
You win some you loose some.

The main crash on the straight was due to Kev was setting his fuel and tires etcetra. He never saw the car or yellow flag.
Never intended or meaning to wreck.

Thanks, nice render. Just as I wanted.
Cheers m8

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Nope, RSR(or Kev rather) got punishement for the T1 pile-up that followed. No sanctions were given away because of Kev's special start, though d recognised it wasn't really in the spirit of the rules.

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1312022#post1312022

Anyway I have to say that Tommy's start looks epic on the replay, especially between oval T1 and T1

hmmmm

Quote :

However, there is a spirit of the rules violation, as we hope that no one would gain advantage from a situation like this. We'll let it get through this time, but we do not wish for someone to get that sort of advantage again and will be amending the rules accordingly to include a penalty for doing such a "jump"

Anyway doesnt matter to me. Ijust had a hard day at work, couldnt settle in and did really shitty times.
I was more shocked that people overtake under yellow flag. And people get on track after chrashing without even be aware that others might appraoch.

Quote from Tomhah :

hey, it shouldnt gone green there, dont blame me! :P It was green flag, I was allowed to overtake And I didnt create any "bad" stuff, everything went clean. Got up to 10th in T1, I think. This is the same as RSR did at blackwood (isnt it? :P) Im not sure if I would've done this in a real race, but I also guess the start would've been waved off in a real race, no? You guys should stick to the bumper to the guy in front, approaching the oval. And dont crash.

Also. FANTASTIC fight with Seb and Simon! WOW! Thanks for making the hour go that quickly. Was a pleasure!

Well yes RSR did, and did get punished for.
Staying at the cars when people keep weaving not staying at the car infront doesnt work.

Great a testrace.
I couldnt settle in and did shitty laps.
However I am stunned how people drive, overtaken under yellow flag, 3 cars just overtook me.
Tommy at the back at first lape and using his speed coming on the oval and overtaking about everyone in first corner.
People just go on track without even watching if someone is approaching.
Stunned.

WTF, nicely done. Not mine kinda skin but heads off for you.

OMG isnt he speaking of KY3B then ?.
Bashor, nice didnt seen that.

Quote from dekojester :

Skin is missing the required sunstrip.

Yup, damn changed. thanks for pointing that out.

Quote from boothy :

Erm it wasn't you in the car, it was Kev. The rest of the post makes no sense, you might want to check the replay again to see that although 77 shouldn't have hit you on the way through, your car should've moved left to allow them through.

Mine post wasnt done yet needed to be altered.
Secondly, accordingly to the NDR sporting code and I quote :

Quote :

4. Blue
a) Used to warn a driver that a faster car is approaching from behind. This flag is not restricted to cars a lap or more down, and may be used to signal to a higher classified car that a faster car is coming. When receiving a blue flag, do not make sudden maneuvers, and keep to a predictable line. Do not defend a properly presented overtaking maneuver.

So kevin stayed on right since on right 2 cars are already driving. He could not move to left side due to both cars. He couldnt stop since FZR from behind was coming. He did keep a predictable line and he didnt made any sudden movements with the car. At last he didnt defend any proper made overtaking maneuver.

After 2 protest we filed to be checked we also got a warning.

Quote :

Car 07 - Warning for lack of spatial awareness.

So by being aware of the surroundings you get a warning aswell ?.

Asked mine driver what he thought during that moment,

Quote :

OK well here are my thoughts in those few seconds between knowing what I wanted to do and having to figure out what I needed to do:

Two cars on left, both XRR's, traveling faster.
One FZR behind.
Need to slow to give XRR's the corner.
Uh, FZR coming fast, wtf he's going into grass.
Contact, pushed me in front of XRR, FZR not gonna make corner,better follow cuz no time to slow for chicane without killing XRR's.
Wtf FZR keeps goin.
Dirty tires, better move over so XRR's can go by.
Final thought: what a ..........

I really don't understand how me staying away from two cars then getting punted out of the way by another constitutes a lack of spacial awareness.
If anything I showed more awareness than anyone by not wrecking all 4 of us.
Makes me wonder.......
Now mind you that was all in a matter of a few seconds, and 77's stupidity could have destroyed 4 cars. But everyone came out unharmed.

So how is that a lack of spatial awareness?
