The trend has spread to Australia but being a bit ahead of us Kiwi's they get hit by a truck

This is proof of the theory some of us hold that idiots don't just pull out in front of bikes. Some of the bastards are so dim they'll pull out in front of anything.

I first started thinking about this a couple of summers ago when a terminal idiot pulled out of a gas station just in time to disappear under a bus. At least he/she had the good grace not to block the Kopu Bridge

Probbly blamin the truckie for speedin or something...:confused:

I feel sorry for the truckie and the female cop.... they were just along for the ride on this one.

I hope the driver of the Police Car is ok too... that's he's held accountable but he's ok...

Hopefully it'll make a few think twice about u turning without looking back here.
