Most blokes go through that "I am invincible" or "it won't happen to me" phase in our lives, and small accidents like these hopefully act as reality checks before it is too late......
Unfortunately sometimes these reality checks come in the form of fatal accidents :(
Something doesn't look quite right with that rear brake disc.
G'day Khos,
:eek::eek: Cars chasing houses is not fun!
My best mate in primary school got a new house that way. :(
But I did note that your last pic doesn't show how much air he got! :twisted::p
:)

I hope the young fella's mum or dad get him back on the horse soon - and in some crap weather/road conditions. Gotta get his understanding of what went wrong sorted, and get his confidence back.
Matt.
I hope that the young driver learns that you certainly do need to drive to the conditions, but, wet conditions and low profile steer pattern treaded tyres also have a tendancy to have a mind of their own in those conditions
ask any motorcyclist and or older truck driver of the effect of steer pattern tyres on the drive axle.
cheers
The Tow truck driver wouldn't winch him out without police presence :eek: He said he would get fined if he did.
He seemed like a good kid , didn't really want to call the police on him but the towie had to , so I think he still got done for Neg driving anyway.
which may now negate his insurance! :(Quote:

Hi Geoff ; the wall is about a 1.5 metres above the driveway so the young fella didn't have to try very hard to get much air :p Old faifthful is park on the driveway almost right in front of it where he nearly got airborn in the subaru . It scared the crap out of us inside the house when he hit the concrete retaining wall . I'm certainly looking to extending the re-enforced retaining wall up.:(Quote:
