Title: Re: Spanish Tragedy Post by Pondgirl on Jul 27th, 2013 at 4:29pm
Tony, the picture (singular) on his facebook page was taken 16 months ago and he is permitted to drive at that speed on certain parts of the track. Just saying.
He has now been formally accused of reckless homicide and has until Sunday to make a statement. Without knowing what the black box recorded it's impossible to form a watertight opinion on what happened. He's an experienced driver and has apparently driven that route about sixty times. He would have been warned to start braking before the tunnel, about four km from the start of the 80 limit. He would have known exactly what speed he should have been going. So he either took his eye off of the ball (that would only be for a minute and a half at 190kph), thought he could handle the extra speed or there was a mechanical malfunction somewhere or a combination. |
