Them Nav' them does gih men powers oui..more so than any other pickup for some reason or the other..that 6FWD is really something..

IDK nah. I see some fellas gunning it down the southern highway at 140 in pouring rain while I find my van starting to lose traction at 80.

Vid look like Navara man lose traction in the back.

Bluesclues do you concur?

Remember the 19 yr old that was bounced down and killed.....well seems the driver got murdered today...

The young man looked to his left just before crossing the road but only looked to his right when he was actually crossing the road. He had a split second to try and stop but the car was speeding so much that it was impossible.

I do not understand how people are making excuses for the driver. If he was going within the speed limit Ezekiel Burton might have been alive today.

Where are all those people who are clamouring for an increase in the speed limit to 100 kph?

THE Arima man whose car slammed into a teenager two months ago in Malabar, as he was about to cross the street, was shot dead early yesterday morning.
But police as well as the victim’s mother said they did not believe the murder of 30-year-old Kevin James was linked in any way to the accident that cost Ezekiel Burton, 19, his life.
Instead, they said it was believed that James was the victim of a robbery that had gone awry, as the two gold chains he was wearing at the time were taken by his killers.

Gold chains and Moët?

definitely a good boy

Running bridgestone duelers from the dealership. Disappointing performance for such a big name brand TBH. However, I'm talking mostly about areas on the highway with standing water or flowing water higher than 1 inch where you can feel the vehicle start to hydroplane. Wonder if it has to do with the siping.

[pugboy]

Dueler have well known wet issues

I feel he really try to do a drift 360 or something yes. Maybe hand slip off the steering and lose control? I could never understand the motives behind that kinda speed nah. Even if speed limit was 200km my tiida would never see more than 120.

5pm - Accident on PBR - Mt Hope Lights and Car ran off Highway - Southbound after Freeport

^wonder if corolla man rush de lights

At the speed that Nav going, driver essentially pulled off a Scandinavian flick when he tried to overtake the maxi

Respect bridgestone duelers in the wet, else you will find yourself in a ditch

[tourniquet]

those duelers are rubbish and downright dangerous in the wet if you're not very careful. Many tire shops accept trade ins; if you got the dueler H/T on your new ride, I would recommend trading them in for something else as soon as you get the vehicle.

[BRZ]

Fresh Case..... of the Missing Navara front end.....

Them Nav' them does gih men powers oui..more so than any other pickup for some reason or the other..that 6FWD is really something..

YES it gives them the EXTRA STUPIDITY, plus when they put 26's on their Navara they get invincibility, and if you further ADD chrome strips onto everything they have the ability to fly, all that they need to add is RED and GREEN flight lights

[TurboSingh12]

^^The driver live or died?

Hmmmm. I thought it was just me thought they were crap. Whats a good set of tires to get?

[Dizzy28]

That Navara...if the driver doesn't have a PBR pass, his insurance responsible for paying him still??

[kamakazi]

If driving mainly on sealed surface, I recommend Maxxis Bravo HT... Very similar ride and grip to the michelin cross terrain. I also like the kumho road venture apt KL51

Firestone Destination A/T's. Never had a problem with these in any weather condition, then again I'm prolly one of those Trinis to whom rain and wet roads is actually a sign to slow down.

Hello Trip.. .get back..get back....

Don't understand why video recorder have to be so up close and personal, let the damn first responders do their bloody work

[fouljuice]

In that La Brea incident, Truck driver claim the woman in the white 13 went over in his lane.
Woman was still alive but pinned inside and bloody.

Ambulance/police/fire services took a while because the road already narrow and the traffic pileup almost to Point Fortin.

Good cause tiida's suck

[Slartibartfast]

I think people don't realise that the speed limit is a limit and not a target. Sadly everyone treats it like a target when the limit is well below what the majority of drivers, comfortably and safely, regularly drive at.

i.e. If they raise it to 120 doesn't mean everybody going to drive at 120. Just those that get charged for driving over 120 going to know that they have no defence if they caught.

youre correct, in all honesty 120km is fine, you can still drive your 80 etc

Knowing how people drive down here, it's hard to actually point fingers..because we all know that 1 in 3 Trinidadian drivers doesn't know how to use the white line in the road i.e. a pothole on your side of the road means that you'll borrow my side by the time regardless to whether I'm using it or not .

On the flip side, we all know a truck driver who isn't the brightest bulb in the lamp and left home one day without a permit and then came home..Heavy-T in hand; he got a permit..just so..and then an endorsement that requires at least 1 year of LICENSED driving to acquire..just so. If that doesn't raise some concern to you, then Jah knows what will. Add to that concoction the fact that he now drives a vehicle that can sustain a lot less damage than it can give, making him feel invincible, so he takes your side of the road and now it's his b*tch, and there's nothing you can do about it, so it's his word against hers..positions of vehicles after collision might help..

(Disclaimer: If there is no line present, use good judgement and plain common sense).
