7 Cyclists Killed

This is why simply taking a driver's licence does not work.

ROME - A man high on marijuana and driving without a licence plowed head-on into a team of amateur cycle racers in southern Italy on Sunday, killing seven and injuring several others, police said.


The dead were men ranging in age from 35 to 58, practising on a road in the southern region of Calabria.


Two other members of the local amateur racing team were seriously injured.


The driver, a Moroccan immigrant, was arrested and charged with multiple manslaughter.


Police said blood tests showed the man, who was himself hospitalized for injuries, was under the influence of marijuana. They said he was driving illegally because his licence had been withdrawn six months ago for dangerous driving.


A boy who was in the car with him was also injured.

Maybe next time they'll confiscate the car...as they should have in the first place.
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

A car has to do more than just perform; it has to stir your soul!

A true driver's car does not have cup holders.

Sadly that won't stop some people either.
A subwoofer should only be noticed once it has been turned off.

Sure enough, but it is a start.

I guess we could always volunteer them for mine sweeping (without a vehicle) duties.  ;)
