Severely pwn3d... cell phone drivers annoy the **** out of me. Such drivers are usually the ones that are actually the less skilled drivers, at least in my area...

You can find drivers like this who own all variety of cars but I have to admit that the 350Z does seem to attract drivers who are more prone to getting involved in somethng like this.

I would never want to blame the victim for being involved in a crash, especially a fatal one but high performance sports cars do handle very differently from sedans and SUVS.

The age of this driver wasn't mentioned but I would guess that he was inexperienced and propelled by testosterone (i.e. young). When you mix these two factors with inattention (talking on cell phone) you have an accident weaiting to happen. Fortunately the only damage in this case appears to be to property.

Ouch, at least no one was hurt. Poor bastard, now he has to pay for the jeep, the brickwork on the house, the garage door, and not to mention his own damn car.

Unfortunately he won't have to pay for anything. It'll be his insurance company paying for it, while responsible sports car drivers take the blame and get porked.

Lets not jump to any conclusion yet, so far hes only an idiot. The site did say that for the second time someone has "misjudge the turn". That turn might be tricky or its a blind spot kinda deal. Who knows. Besides, I can gurantee almost everyone has at least talked on the phone while driving our Z. Still......, that poor Z.

I'm a kid too, and sometimes I start to do something stupid but then remember that I'm unexperienced. It gets me to stop the things I want to do sometimes.

That's not always true. If he has minimum coverage, it may not be enough to pay for all that damage. In LA, minimum coverage is only $25K, that's enough to cover the Z but what about the house, Jeep and everything else? One of the dangers in thinking all you need is the minimum is hitting a $60K hummer, MB, BMW, etc.

Man, Z had a long way to go until it finds its home at other people's garage. How the heck fast was the guy driving anyway? It seems like it's a long way to stop.
And how can people manage to talk on a cellphone driving 6spd manual car anyway? When I drive my Z, I mostly don't pick up the phone simply because it just gives me too much hassle. (I need my left hand to steer, right hand to shift)
People, if you wanna talk while you are driving, get bluetooth or hands free set!!!

No wonder Europe and Southeast Asia (Tsunami-land) are teeming with mopeds. They're all idiots.



Actually, riding a moped, would mean actually being able to balance oneself on it, like riding a bicycle, which means add a cell phone, donut, lip stick, starbucks coffee and an ipod and 80-90% of American drivers would be dead. . .which would help alleviate the traffic problem in So. Cal.

Nissan will need to offer a brush guard option on the 350z, (kind of like the cow rake thing in front of old time locomotives) to push away all the fallen mopeds and moped riders on the 405.

Could have run over a rabbit (squissy) lost traction and crashed. Or had cell phone in left hand, shifting with right and trying to steer with his baby arm.

But the thousands that drive through that turn don't have a problem.

As a kid I used to play in my driveway all the time.

As an adult, I still play in my driveway all the time, albeit for different reasons.
