    A lesson for you all: this is what happens when you're driving too fast

    I found this on the net. It has some horrible pictures with a 18+ scale on it. I will not post those because I'm sure the moderators will not tolerate it. But I do have some pics of what happens when you're young, you have a Porsche and try to overtake a car at 160 km/h whilst approaching a toll gate.

    Warning, the following picture contains blood and may be for 18+ only. Could a moderator please give his judgment!

    She cliped the other car, a bit hard no to go out of control after that...

    Grim images, that was an abrupt stop.
    As to what an 18 year old was doing with a Carrera? Acting 18 and feeling invincible.

    She was either in the car without permission, or her parents gave her what she wanted. Certainly performance driving lessons in such a machine would have been a good idea, but spoiled kids rarely have thoughtful and engaged parents. It's a shame, she was pretty, too.

    now not that I am too curious, but I can only find two images,one showing the girl and the other one a piece of rubble against the toll booth but taken from a great distance. Is there another link?

    There might be, but I'm not gonna look for them. The handful shown are quite enough.

    2 is not exactly a handful, and neither of them are as shocking as announced

    Including the shots from the link there are 5 photos, all of which have a finality and bleakness that say enough.

    right click on the image with the X and click properties and copy the filename.
    Paste it in a new tab/browser and hit go and the image will show.
    Note the filename ends in a number.
    You can cycle through changing the number to see the other images.
    pic.jpeg pic_02 and 4ish are gruesome and so don't go folks !!!!


    OR, remove the filename and see if the browser will open the folder -- it does in this case.


    You've been warned .... "head trauma" was an understatement RIP.

    thanks, but that is too much work, for something that may not be too attractive anyway. At the end I was only interested in the technicalities on how to reveal the pictures. My computer dumbness is not unknown

    I think your judgement there is spot on, that was unpleasent to say the least. I think its best if access to these photos is limited. Maybe this thread should go...

    but hopefully now the method is there for anyone wanting to do it with any images. So one less on teh "computer dumbness" scale Pieter
