    I didn't say that, in fact I said the guy is a maniac, but you cannot deny that he has skill.

    He was, you're right. But he was skilled too. And you seem to say that developing that skill is a years work and that anyone can do it.

    i bet all the people that say "anyone could learn to do this" are the same people that **** there pants if their car skids in the rain,just accept it,the man had serious skills and not everyone can do it BUT he shouldnt have been doing it on open roads with people and cars on it

    I can do it on a 1,000 cc motorbike on a wet roundabout. What's your point? I'm sorry the youngfella was killed, but he was a dangerous maniac.

    Are you glad he's dead just to fit in with the herd? Seriously, if you can't discuss an issue without getting personal then there's no point in even trying.

    It is a sad loss of life but that sort of driving on public roads can only lead to harm for everyone else in the long run. Campainers pushing for better control on what people drive at certain ages for example....

    I'm no angel myself at times but at least I have respect for what I drive and others around me

    Me too, but can you honestly say that you always have? Anyone who's ever driven harder than they should have on public roads should have at least a twinge of 'there but for the grace of God...' Whatever about Joe Public embarking on a witch hunt, I think it ill becomes fellow car enthusiasts to be dancing on the guy's grave.

    Any proper car nut on here if pressed would confess to have driven many times in the past well beyond sensible and safe. But not to that extent. There's a limit to anything. Where the limit is is always up for debate/discussion and will never be agreed on, but driving like that around a city is asking for it.
    Folk on here complain about rings in the middle of our roads, done in the middle of the night, but to be honest, that sort of ballsing out of sight of anyone is nothing in comparison to the clips at the start of this thread.

    I think there is a huge difference between what you describe and what Giorgi got up to. He made more crazy moves in 30 seconds on that video than most would do in a lifetime. He died like he lived, it was always going to happen, but certainly no need to celebrate it.

    This guy looked to be in his late 40s though.

    Other road users may pull over and get out of his way... Trees don't. Not the crazy speed that kills you - its the coming to a sudden stop that does the damage and not much better out there for bringing you to a sudden stop than a friendly oul tree.

    For all road vehicles I've used yes I can say that I have. When you take your time assembling a daily hack you don't want to ruin the damned thing after putting the time and effort in.

    Being nearly killed at 18 in a car crash as a passenger would make me think twice before putting the foot down on that short stretch of road, taking that corner too fast etc. I've been too close to being killed on the roads and want to prevent a repeat as much as possible

    Personally I believe people won't stop to think about what they're doing until they've had a serious accident. Then it's too late

    Well, all I can say is that you seem to have been more sensible than me. I drove like a man possessed through my teens and most of my 20s. I was lucky, I appreciate my luck now, and I for one wish that Tevzadze had been a little more lucky too.

    Like I said I'm far from perfect at times but that little voice is always at the back of my head what can fail on the car, am I going too fast for the conditions, what's around that corner etc and I can safely say that stems from the accident. I suppose it can be a bit ott at times....

    Mind you before that I was a typical anus with a full licence and a death wish!

    I have that little voice now too, it's called growing up. :)
