I cant even believe the comments I am reading on here. It is funny really how all the people who have wrote such sick and nasty comments are either people who didnt know him or people who cant even leave their real name. People are stereotyping Billy from this article as a "boy racer" but if you actually knew him you would know he wernt a bad person, he was a lovely lad with everything going for him. I cant understand how people get satisfaction and humour out of a tragedy which ruined so many peoples lives. Billy was such a loved person in Failsworth by all his friends and family.

None of us have said that we think Billy was right for doing what he did but why waste your time saying "what if he had killed another person" because at the end of the day he didnt. This was nothing but a stupid stupid mistake and if any of us could turn back time we would.

Everyone is bound to have opinions because yous didnt know him but please keep them to yourselves, you are doing nothing but hurting his family and friends. Do you not think they have been through enough? Imagine if it was a member of your family.
