From the Philly Inquirer:
"In the 13 years before his death Monday in a fiery Chester County crash, Dunn was cited at least 23 times, including 10 stops for speeding and careless driving and three more for driving with a suspended license. Among those violations - 90 percent of which ended in guilty pleas - was a 2005 DUI arrest. Charges were dropped when Dunn completed a probationary program, with suspension of his license for more than a year, according to court records."

23 times!?!? It's very disturbing to me that guys like this don't lose their licenses PERMANENTLY If you repeatedly catch a guy driving with a suspended license, maybe you need to take more action that just issuing another citation, no?

Yeah, 132-140 miles one mile after leaving the bar.

 

Here is some footage of what was once Ryan Dunn's GT3

i think one of the comments there is really spot on:

"People think they can drive like race car drivers, but real racers wear helmets, neck protection,
6 point harness, they sit in a roll cage, they have a special impact resistant fuel cell, etc. etc.
Plus they don't have to worry about trees, buildings, etc.
Don't **** around in a road car, no matter how "sporty" it is."

 

I had heard about this earlier this week and didnt see anyone posted it up online. I find it extremely sad that he lost his life and ended up killing the passenger along with himself. It really got to me when I saw the interview of Bam visiting the crash sight... to lose a close friend or family member is one of the most painful feelings. RIP Ryan Dunn.

That being said I think we all can agree that while drinking and driving ANY car is a poor choice, why would someone who has had as many violations and citations be driving a GT3 of all cars. Like honestly, who insured him?

 

By the looks of the car, I hope they both died on impact. I'd hate to think that I was stuck in a burning car knowing I couldn't get out of it..

That boy was destined to go exactly like he went.. too bad he had to take a friend with him..

 

Even if his insurance wAs 15k a year i dont think it would hurt his pocket so i guess with money comes the power and insurance paying top dollar to have his liscense is peanuts.

 

Yep, it's America. Money can buy you anything. Except common sense. My only sympathy is for his passenger.

 

Anybody going to buy the shirt?

 

I think I'd buy it if I was a fan, but I really haven't been exposed to it as I'm too old. Following it, though, since it happened and I really don't get the crutches. They seem out of place, but the rest is pretty cool.
Instead of crutches, maybe there should be beer bottles...

 

^^pretty sure the crutches are an homage to the Jackass symbol, which is a skull superimposed on a set of crutches, IIRC. I will probably not buy it....seems icky to somehow commercialize an accident, especially by celebrating a guy who (inadvertently) killed someone else. BUT, to each his own.

 

ahhh. Yeah - I'm not into the whole jackass thing, so I did not know that. Makes sense though, to have a reference to the show on the shirt.

 

And his parents, friends, etc... Definitely not for the idiot stupid enough to drink and kill a friend.
And condone that Porsches kill celebrities? No.

Speed doesn't kill, bad drivers and stupidity does.
