可怕的車禍

在外國的高速公路上,風馳電掣,過癮非常;沒事最好,一發生車禍,便很大鑊的了。高速公路的限速是100公里甚至更高,無論是多結實的車或多少個氣袋,都很難保你無事。

我有個中學同學,70年代從香港到澳洲新南威爾斯州留學,醫科畢業後和同學開車旅行途中出事,車上五人全部死亡,真是可嘆。
前幾年有個香港留學生,買了一輛舊車,和女同學在澳洲偏遠地方旅行出事,兩人俱喪命。

不只是高速公路,近年在布里斯本的市內街道上,也發生過幾宗牽涉亞洲學生、有人喪命的車禍;大多是在限速60公里的街道上,超速飛馳所致。  
這裡有很多亞洲學生開高性能、大馬力的車,有些是開家中的名車,有些是父母給錢他們買的。當中有些是移民家庭,全家來澳洲安頓好家居,他們留在在澳洲讀書,然後父母回原居地繼續賺錢的。

在 亞洲人聚居的南區,你會見到有很多20歲出頭的年輕人,開著Benz, BMW, Lexus, Audi 招搖過市,嚇壞鬼佬;也有些開「頭文字 D」那種改裝的日本車,日產Skyline GT 啦、三菱 Lancer Evo啦,Subaru WRX STi 啦,都是要多快有多快,遠超市內行車要求的。

前幾年,就在本市南區的住宅區街道上,一個台灣學生載著另一日本女同學,高速撞車,車分兩截,女子飛出車外,兩人慘死。

上星期的一天,也是在南區,清晨3時,幾名韓國學生開一輛大馬力的Audi A8,出事撼柱,車身分為兩截:

一名女子飛出車外,身體掛在人家的屋簷上慘死,另外二人重傷。(ABC新聞:http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07/23/2634447.htm)

出事地點是住宅區的街道,但是之前警方的監速攝影機拍到他們在高速公路以166公里(超速66公里)飛馳,估計他們在出事的街道上也是超速得離譜,才會撞得那麼嚴重。

這樣貪一時之快,浪費生命,不值得。

    An alleged street racer charged over a road smash that killed an elderly couple on Sunday had previously been declared a "habitual driving offender", a court heard today.

    A MOTORCYCLIST questioned over a collision that killed a father-of-four in Sydney's south-west is still a "person of interest", police say.

    Police had linked the man to the death Sydney dad Toufic El Zahab - the latest innocent victim of the State Government's broken promise to crack down on illegal street racers.

    A 20-YEAR-old man who was drag-racing at 140km/h and caused the death of Port Kennedy teenager Chloe Schoppe, has had his jail term cut to 20 months and can be freed.

    Derek Jute Taylor, of Kalgoorlie, lost control of his car, throwing 16-year-old Chloe Schoppe to her death, the District Court was told.

    Taylor was convicted of dangerous driving causing the death of the Port Kennedy teenager.

    He was jailed April for two years and two months. His driver's licence was disqualified for two years.

    However yesterday the Court of Criminal Appeal unanimously decided to cut Taylor's sentence. He is now eligible for release on parole.

    Taylor was drag-racing in a silver Mazda 6 against Mark Robert John Archer’s green Holden Commodore along Mandurah Road, Madora Bay, just after midnight on July 28, 2007.

    Archer, 30, who was critically injured in the smash, was also charged with dangerous driving causing death and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.138 per cent. He was jailed for 12 months for his part in the fatal accident.

    Victim's family furious at drag-race death driver penalty

    * From: PerthNow
    * March 05, 2010 6:03PM


    THE family of a young girl who was killed in a drag racing accident have lashed out at her boyfriend's sentence.
    Ten News reported that John Paul Hellewell, 19, was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death. He will be eligible for parole in eight months.

    His girlfriend, Ashleigh Susan Purser, 16, was a passenger in the car, which lost control on the wet road, spun across the freeway and crashed into trees, allegedly during a race with another vehicle. She died from multiple injuries at the scene on July 27, 2008.

    Ashleigh's mum, Chelsea Morrissey, said she was outraged by the sentence.

    "It's a joke," she said. "My daughter died and he gets eight months... my children have a life sentence."

    Lucy Lieberman died in car of P-plater Moustapha Haj she'd just met

    * By David Barrett and Kara Lawrence

    * January 05, 2009 12:00AM

    IT began as a chance meeting at Bondi Beach and ended around a power pole more than 40km away in Sydney's southwest.

    Lucy Lieberman was killed instantly after a ride in her new boyfriend Moustapha Haj's car - just three weeks after the pair had first met.

    Plus - How tray-riding claimed young another young teen's life

    The 15-year-old had caught a train from Bondi to meet Mr Haj, a P-2 driver, at Bankstown.



    With her best friend Ebony, 16, by her side, the pair joined Mr Haj as they drove to meet his cousin in Liverpool.

    They never made it. Mr Haj's Honda Integra, registered to his father, skidded for 80m before it slammed into a power pole on Newbridge Rd, Chipping Norton, on Saturday at 7.30pm.

    Police will today seek new laws allowing them to confiscate the cars of P-platers caught speeding
