Nearly £17k a year and they don't teach them basic road safety skills? Scandalous!
Still, it just goes to show that a privileged background (Air Cadets, Venture Scouts, scuba diving et al don't come cheap, I'd guess) is no protection from a ton of metal, travelling at 60mph.
There's a lot about this story which doesn't make sense. If the family is loaded, why didn't the lad simply hire a taxi to get home from the party. If he had so many great friends, why didn't one of them give him a lift in their car? Why didn't their parents come and fetch him (or is that too embarrasing, at 17?) Why didn't the parents send their chauffeur out to collect him?

Don't be pompous enough to praise yourself, my thread had nothing to do with your racial comments, I was merely pointing out the fact that you are so white British bias and class conscious in your views.
I will await until the next unfortunate stabbing of a young black lad, to see if you are so quick off the mark to enter such a disrespectful thread such as the one you have entered here.
I ask you, are the left (who put themselves up to be so caring and respectful), so insensitive to try and make an anti-class point, anti- Daily Mail point, out of the unfortunate death of a young 17 year old?

Absolutely disgusting, who would wish themselves to be attached to such views as these?
I only hope this individual does not experience such a tragic loss of life to any member of his family, rich, poor, Right-Wing, Left-Wing, black or white, does it really matter in the whole scheme of things?

It is unclear what happened.
Why was the driver trying to wave down the taxi BEFORE the accident?
Was the lad lying in the road? Possibly clipped by another vehicle?
Was he wandering in the road previously?
Did attempting to wave down the taxi distract the driver causing the accident?
This is not a national news story even with the Private schoolboy angle. I suspect some connection to the journalist, may live in the same village or play for the same rugby clubs.
I am not convinced the Mail would have been less sympathetic to a working class lad. They recently covered the story of another 17 year old who went missing in Manchester City Centre, who turned up dead. They covered that without casting aspertions.

If this site was known for it's 'respecting other's opinions', then perhaps it might catch on, so why should I be the only one expected to do so.
And if it is your opinion that the poster in question was not being disrespectful then so be it, but please allow me the freedom to give my opinion.
