I want this guy to get what he LEGALLY deserves.




dude WTF? If the mazda driver actually clipped your buddy, or somehow forced him off the road then he has fault. Otherwise you are just being a little bitch about this. Many people have told you that your buddy was a willing participant in this...Why are you so determined add blame to someone else? Is that going to help your friend? no.



Like I said I am extremely sorry about your friend. I know how it feels to have someone we care about be in a coma. I pray that he makes a full recovery.

alright guys I'm not trying to stir up the hornets nest or anything or cause problems. maybe I was out of line I apologize if I was. as far as me knowing it was an Rx7 I really have no idea thats what it was. according to a witness "it was a silver mazda" I just assumed that most likey it was an rx7 or rx8 because not many other mazdas can get to those speeds very easily. I just was really upset about the fact my friend was hurt (through his own fault). If he doesn't pull through than it is in fact manslaughter to be involved in this race and yes this from an attorney. but If I went too far I apologize It was just my first instinct to find out who this guy was. also this is not tech related so I'll go ahead and end this here. once again sorry for getting so compulsive guys.

It sucks that in this day and age people always try to fault others for their actions.



If I was the Mazda, I would have called 911 for him, and taken off aswell.

BECAUSE, I keep in mind that people like Black93fd are looking to displace blame. And have attorneys on speed dial, ready to help them.



You should have the attorney make sure his (vette driver) insurance company is paying up so he can get the care he needs.







I truly wish your friend luck with his recovery. And my best wishes for his family.

According to the law in california (may be even in the whole us) if his friend doesnt make it the mazda driver if found will most likely be charged with involentary vehicular manslaughter, even if he didnt drive him off the road, clip him or anything of the sort. That could be up to 10 years.



So according to law, the mazda driver could be at fault.



It really makes me wonder sometimes about where this country is going...





I wish your friend luck and hope your friend recovers.

And as far as this thread goes i dont think there is anything i, or anyone else can gain from reading this.





Just my .02

Maybe this only applies to Canada where I'm from, but for them to technically be "racing" wouldn't there have to be a marked or recognizable start and/or finish line?? otherwise it is, at the worse, imprudent driving? Which, I suppose could still make him responsible for manslaughter, except for the fact that it wasn't HIS imprudent driving that caused the accident. You'd have to prove that it was the Mazda's irrespnsible driving, and not the corvette's that caused the accident. Which, I think would be hard to do, all things considered...

I feel dumber for reading this post.



Come on. Don't try to ruin someone else's life because your friend made a poor decision.



I hope he recovers and you guys move one. The past is just the past. Don't live there nothing more to experience from it.

What??? First of all, there are so many scenarios that might of cause this... and blame can not be put on the Mazda owner unless its clear that they were actually racing... Not your dumbass friend trying to follow him and lost control.. thats like me following a car front of me who's speeding(maybe not 150MPH.. which I highly doubt) and I loose control and run off the road. Is that mean the car in front of me is responsible??? NO!!!



I think you need to see where your friend's lawyer went to school and how well he did.. because its going to be an impossible case if the Mazda's intention wasn't a race, didn't make contact, and he didn't realize your friend was following.



This is the stupidest thing I've heard. Unless your friend has a video of the mazda owner asking your friend to race and somehow he ran your friend off, made contact, shot grease like 007 cars, he is not responsible for your friends accident. Its clear case. Don't try to find blame, take it like a man and admit fault.
