Just nitpicking here, but most of what she sings about in her song actually doesn't fit the definition of irony. It's really just sh*t luck....

Perhaps that was the true irony of the song....

With all due respect to the guy, how can he think that BMW drivers act as if they 'own the road'??? I mean, just about every motorcycle rider I've seen is constantly dodging in and out of traffic, tailgating and/or speeding. Seriously, they make me so nervous, that I'm always pulling way over to let 'em by. You tap those poor bastards with your bumper and they're DOA, considering the speed at which their driving.

How is this a tragedy? Tragic is if he takes someone else out with him. This is the best possible outcome.

Maybe his Ignis was equipped with a Hayabusa engine?

nonetheless RIP for that poor s*cker.

Wow - that article was just straight to the point morbid. R.I.P. to the former mayor.

He was a Former Mayor, he should be an example citizen.. and not antagonizing drivers and putting innocent people in danger.
All because of his steriotype of all merc/bmw drivers (obvious screws loose)

thats pretty dumb on his part but whats worse is...

Such a juvenile way to die, and yet both drivers were 50 years old. Crazy.
