We are not sure if this happened because they were avoiding some pedestrian?

We are also not sure if everyone in the car was equally complicit.

Legally and practically, the consequences far outweigh the deserved punishment.

Why harp on it and make the tragedy worse than it is?

 

Thsts because a tragedy is caused by their foolish act. And that act can kill innocent . Thats why social media keeps harping on it

Seems like you are condoning what they did. 
curious to know if you would feel the same had they taken out someone you know.

True love or love is blind, I don’t know man.

But if I’m ever in such a situation, I would not want my other half to do such a thing or maybe she also don’t want to. Just wait and get my CPF money. 😅

Guess the guy wanted to show others and gf how skillful his driving is, how fast his car is? And also the thrill of speeding at top speed at such a bendy road? Youngsters now always YOLO. 🙄

They and their families have already received the maximum punishment possible. I doubt anyone amongst their ranks would think it is ok to do what they did. At least it would be a deterrent for several years, but people have short memories and forget about such incidents a few years later.

How would harping on it today help anyone?

Well, sense is what the boy racers don’t have. Some would have thought that the bmw flipping and half wrapping around the tree along ECP would have been a warning. But of course such spectacular crashes will still happen. 
All I can hope is no innocent else gets taken out. 

Which is why i always feel zero sympathy empathy when people who treat the public roads as a race track hit an immovable impediment.     It is simply just.

Your last sentence sums it up

The harping won’t stop that quickly. People are reminded of the Ma chi and similar incidents. 
It’s only human to say such things. 
i would say you are in the minority to think the way you do.

technical question.., how to fit 5 into 2+2 coupe?

😬

No problem at all.
Most BMW coupes can fit 4 passengers becos the back seats are very similar to saloon seats

it isnt quite a true blue 2+2. 

thats why i like BMW coupes, for their spacious  rear

whether you are friend or related to them,

just share whether their act considerate to others.. 

I believe this not the first time already.. 

if one try to do above the law, then we let the one above the law to take care it accordingly.

Easily convertible to a seat.  
The rear space is roomy enough

Its not like a 911 or other true blue 2+2

There will always have people who will think, ai ya it's the driver is lousy, so ya it will not happen to me, ai ya he is just sway and I am not so unlucky one la.. and continue to drive fast and furious, chiong on narrow road and etc..

 

So no matter what education and or video taking or what also no use, as these people will just find excuse to themselves that it will not happen to them.

Unfortunately this round not handled by law but nature. 

RIP to the young chaps, and hope for the best for the gal, whichever way it goes. 

Condolence to their close families and friends. The pain and loss can only lessen with time, can never be forgotten.

🙏
