1. The father should have NEVER given keys to V10 car to teen or early 20's guy (im guess he was in that age group).

2. There is nothing wrong with speeding if done properly.

3. Sad that people lost their life because of joy riding.

4. If you are under the age of 25, you really should not be driving this type of car unless you have "proven" to be a responsible driver.

5. This is why if your male under a certain age you will pay much more for insurance because this is known as the "show off" age group.

Completely right…at this age and with no experience - driving such cars is the key to death…well same for people over 30 with no driving experience. Insurances should be score the contribution to age, experience, driven kilometres/miles etc…

Good luck with that, but I do agree with your whole post HOH.
Still the very very thin and fine line with "done properly" or "just wrong"
is under 0000,1 inch from eachother.

Well speeding is speeding...this is true.

On the other hand there is a reason why some people speed all the time and never get tickets or in accidents and some do.

1. If your speeding you should know your surroundings.
2. Never speed in a area that you haven't traveled before.
3. You should be aware of where the "ticket kings" (cops) may be hiding.
4. You should be aware of the cars surronding you.
5. You should be aware of the traffic times.
6. Never do more then 80 when turning a sharp corner (if your a beginner then 50mph).
7. Alway be focused on the road and never look at the passenger next to you while your driving.
8. Don't talk/text on the phone and speed.
9. You should be check your rear view mirror often
10. Never accessively speed on wet roads.
11. Anyone unsure about how to speed correctly should attend HighestOfHigh's "The Gift of Speeding 101" class.

Starting at age 20 I was given access to a ton of vehicles like this, and none of them belonged to anyone I personally knew.

It's the second M5 E60 destroyed by a rich spoiled brat.

GermanCarZone top tip: If you are a dad and you have a BMW M5, don't ever let your children drive your Bimmer.

Blah blah blah... another clown with a god complex. You should never speed, end of the story. I don't know why posts aboot software piracy get censored and not these kind of self indulging crap. You don't like the laws: have them changed. Don't just obey to the one you like.

The only place for speed is on the racetrack, end of the discussion.

Lol...Someone must be playing a joke on me.

1. You are NEVER to refer to me as a clown!
2. If you believe in doing 25mph all the time then that is YOU.
3. Everyone on this forum speeds INCLUDING YOU (Even though your acting like your a saint now)!
4. You need to learn how to censor yourself before address me of all people with that kind of attitude.
5. No one said they don't like Laws....where did you even get that idea from?
6. Why the heck would I waste my time going to a racetrack to please you or your idea of speed limits?
7. I suggest you Avoid me at all cost!
