i meant to post this up at the time but just wanted to say to all those into modifying your zeds be extra dilligent and thoughtful with the mods you do esp to brakes, wheels, suspension set up etc...a man was recently found guilty for carrying out mod's that sadly resulted in a fatal crash (killing his own kids)...the key issues in court were the work to the car which he had done himself...this work put the car out of spec and rendered it un-roadworthy he was prosecuted on that basis by the police/cps...he will be sentenced later
A father killed four of his children when he crashed into a river in a Land Rover he had made 'ill-judged' and incompetent' modifications to, a court has heard.
Nigel Gresham, 37, carried out a string of changes on his car for off-road driving but in so doing turned it into a death-trap unfit for public roads, a jury was told.
The alterations proved catastrophic when the 12-seater Land Rover 110 station wagon suddenly slewed off a narrow country lane and into a 15ft deep river during a family outing.......Timothy Spencer QC, prosecuting, said: 'Many of the modifications were ill-judged.'
He said the faults, combined with 'inexpert' repairs and ' limited' maintenance, meant the car was 'quite simply unroadworthy'.
