:blink::shit:

....screw that!

[Subike]

Just think, if that attitude was used against a biker...
Personally, I think if the driver is apprehended, that an attempted murder charge should be bought against him,
Not as will happen, a careless use , causing an accident, charge. But even just ,failure to stop at the scene of an accident will be all that will happen.

[unstuck]

There be some idiots out there.:yes:

[SMOKEU]

The laws are so weak in this country that no doubt the driver will get a pathetic sentence if busted, then be forced to pay $10 a week reparation for the next fuck knows how many years.

Whats the problem?

[FJRider]

Whats the problem?

The problem is ... only one version of the story has been told.

I have never seen 60 km/hr road works signs either ... are they new .. ???

Johns road is an 80km zone so would be silly to put it down to 30ks

I've seen 50, 30 and 20 km/hr speed restrictions in 100 km/hr areas ... what make that 80 km/hr zone so special .. ??

As I've said ... I've never seen a 60 km/hr speed restriction sign.

not too sure, but its not far from the airport and its probably one of the busiest roads in christchurch so may not be trying to impede traffic too much??

Granted the reporting is shoddy but can you explain to me when doing that to another vehicle is a reasonable response?

[unstuck]

Maybe with a TWRG 4 in conjunction with a TWRG 4s.?:shifty:

It never ceases to amaze how stories are told (and I've heard a few on here even) ... before all the facts are known.

Only one version has been told so far.

[AllanB]

Was she Asian? ..............


The 4WD driver was probably one of those eastern suburb persons ...........

[bogan]

Some people are just crazy, wonder if they were on P or something?


As I've said ... I've never seen a 60 km/hr speed restriction sign.

and the article doesn't say anything about a 60kmhr speed restriction either, just that was what she slowed down to; so it could have been either of the common 70 or 50kmhr signs, or even a 30kmhr one...

[Buyasta]

I rode through that section of roadworks on Wednesday, and drove through on Tuesday, and it is indeed a 60kmh temporary limit area, and for that matter there's a long section of that same road a few km up the road where it's become Russley that's been a "temporary" 60km zone for more than 6 months now, and probably closer to a year at this point.

[buggerit]

might not have seen her,looks like her tail lights are out.

[The Lone Rider]

It is 60kmph road work sections from Hornby until just past McCleans Island turn off.

Some of them change location slightly, or which lanes are open, every few weeks or so.



Definitely 60 road work zones along Johns Road.

[Edbear]

Regardless of circumstances, ramming someone like that deserves a charge of attempted murder or at the minimum, intent to cause grevious bodily harm.

[Oakie]

Just think, if that attitude was used against a biker...

Seen it happen against a biker on that same stretch of road about a week after the Feb 22 earthquake when Johns Road was packed for the commute home. A guy on a GN250 was toodling slowly up on the left of the stopped traffic when a guy in a ute (previously stopped) swerved in front of the biker for no other reason than to get in his way. Biker did well to miss him.

nope - ive been rammed on my bike. cant remember what the guy got charged with but ended up to be a suspended sentence which is next to nothing

[pzkpfw]

It's a pattern.

Yep, I've been rammed too. The steroid head and the cops didn't want to progress further. I can't help but wonder if I returned the favour, what the outcome would be (and I have a nice big pick up truck to go play with…).

The only thing he did wrong was he didn't take the house keys off the pedestrian, then he'd be a media legend.

So how long before this happens to a go pro wearer???

If the pedestrian had a gun this would never had happened...

Because a .45 Magnum TOTALLY has enough kinetic energy to stop a 2 tonne SUV travelling at 50 KPH.....

Sorry I should have used the sarcasm/joke emoticon. Yes from a legal and moral perspective he's done very bad.
But the victim here broke the golden rule for avoiding road rage and that is not to admonish anyone else for their bad driving, leave it to the police to do.
Seriously I don't even toot the truck horn at anyone anymore unless it will genuinely warn an unobservant motorist they have a slim chance to alter their trajectory to a non impact one, such circumstances being rare as rocking horse shit.
Their are just so many fried nutters out there on P and crap its not worth playing road cop out there anymore, let Darwin take its course or ring *555...

And ...

I get really really really pissed off being behind bastards on motorway on-ramps, who dawdle along to be "safe" instead of speeding up to match the speed of the motorway. Merging at 80 km/h onto a road where cars come up from behind at 100 km/h makes me nervous.

So a couple of times I've beeped in frustration at the dawdler in front of me - only to have them brake in panic. Lesson learned (maybe not the first time).

Likely to have a bit of bad luck coming his way I'd imagine.....
