    This is in appropriate Wassim was always a careful driver... a good guy... a great rugby player.. his only thrill was to speed away with an oval shaped ball in his hand.

    its not speeding. he was one of the most responsible guys around. he must have fallen asleep. please do not comment without knowing facts.

    Conty Friday, 18 May 2012 11:29 AM

    So are you an expert on Hybrid cars? What make of hybrid would you be commenting on? If it is a Toyota Prius you are out of your mind. Prius is one of the most advanced hybrids on the market, Gen2/3 have some of the highest levels of safety features ever. Besides the comment is not appropriate for the subject, it's a tragic accident not motoring discussion!
