Davies: ‘I Learned Too Much’ To Drive Like That

Again, not sure that this really changes anything, but there are now quotes from Davies about the incident.

“That’s not possible for me to go 120 mph on the road after an accident and think everything will be fine,” Davies said. “If a kid survives such a serious accident and then almost exactly a year later is driving at a reckless speed, it’s like, ‘This can’t be serious.’ … If someone has a second chance like I do, to take advantage of something like that, it’s not something I could do. I learned too much from the whole experience to let something like that happen.”

Davies goes on to say that he didn’t realize how fast they were going in part because he was lying down, which would also indicate that he wasn’t particularly worried about the effectiveness of his seatbelt.

Once they were pulled over the really fun logic took over.

“I was like, ‘Jacques, I don’t think I can do this.’ He was like, ‘No, trust me, it’ll be easy. If you don’t, I’ll go to prison and you’ll be stranded here,’ ” Davies said.

Upon being taken into custody, Faty found out that his license was not actually suspended, but apparently didn’t deem it necessary to clear up the situation at that point. Now, about a week after the incident, he is preparing to set the record straight.

“I’m sorry for Charlie, I’m sorry for his family,” Faty said. “I never expected a problem like this. … I made a mistake, and I will fix everything now.”
