Reference the BMW, thank goodness no innocent party seems to have been involved. All due respect to the dead, but what [zb] drives down a wet motorway at night doing 140mph!

someone who is racing another ■■■■■■■■ in another BMW down the same motorway :unamused:

i must have passed them going the other way, as i was on the road heading north at 2-25ish it was very very wet, so any pricks that are going 140 im sorry but the box is the best place for them, its lucky they didnt take any inoccent aswell with them… and to start fightin with each other… :unamused: a good + about today was the fact the cones have gone from the north section going past luton :sunglasses: its been a long 3 years of the dam things, but not its all but done they wont be any congestion anymore now :unamused: :unamused:

Just glad they took no innocents with them.
No RIP, they deserved to die, especially as they were risking the lives of those unknown to themselves, a greater level of selfishness is hard to achieve.
Glad they are dead quite honestly.

Unlikely seeing are they look like e46 bmws or certainly one of them and what the ■■■■ has race got to do with it?

How can anyone say that they deserved to die.Yes they were driving like idiots but everyday you see drivers driving dangerously and irresponsibly but do they all deserve to die? No they do not.
Everyday you see truck and car drivers tailgating other vehicles which could quite easily end in tragedy but 99 times out of 100 nothing happens and they get away with it.
Driver attitudes need to change otherwise the carnage will continue.
It’s too easy to criticize others but most who do that are just as bad themselves.

Agree.

BMW drivers.

Harsh but that is exactly my thoughts when i hear about these sort of accidents
same when you hear of young drivers speeding round bends sliding off and hitting trees, in some ways at least they won’t be able to hurt anyone els by doing the same thing in the future. With this i mean the ones who are driving recklesly not the ones that just have a minor hickup and by no means all the offenders just some

Their driving a car FFS. Everyone has a moment of madness, a rush of blood or a bit of a lead foot moment on a open road but this doesn’t mean you deserve to die!!

Show me a human who has never had a play with his friends in a car as a youth and i’ll show you a blatant liar
