Last night, a friend of mine got killed in a car accident and another friend is in the hospital with serious head injuries. There were three people in the Subaru Impreza wagon and the person driving the car was trying to have fun on a mountain road and lost control. The passenger side of the car hit a rock face. Not sure how fast he was going but it was enough to kill. It had been raining earlier in the day so the roads were still wet in places.
The driver was a friend and he survived with minimal injuries. I really wish that I talked to him more before he got himself into trouble. He loved cars and was trying to find a car that he could have fun with. I always thought that he would learn by losing his drivers license or by wrecking and learning that he is not as good as a driver as he thought. Now I wish I talked some sense into him when I had the chance. I really wanted to take him somewhere empty and teach him how to drive but I kept putting it off. I guess I just never thought that he would do something stupid like this and get someone killed.
You never know when it will be the last time that you will ever see someone. Don't hold back from talking to a friend because you think you can do it another day, you may regret it later. I sure as hell do.
Please be careful and drive safely. It may be fun to blast through public roads pushing the limits but it never a good idea, but if you are going to do it at least be alone in the car! Don't take someone with you, it makes everything worse. Track days are cheaper than a life!
This is the second friend that I have lost in the last two years due to car accidents. Enough is enough. Pay attention to what you are doing and for god sake don't do anything stupid!
Be careful and pay attention.
