    A LEttrr to KB

    Good day

    I came across some people writing about a dearly loved friend of mine Mark Tan-Wanklyn who was killed by a car on Sydmonds St and K Rd Intersection back in 9th Feb.

    I just thought I'd let you know so you can tell your readers, a young Asian girl (19) ran the red light - she was 50m away from the lights when the light turned red. So it has to be deliberate. She hit a Ford Falcon, which in turn hit my mate of his bike. She did not stop there, she continued to drive, and ran over my mates head - giving him injuries which were not survivable.

    The Police, or shall we say The Ignorant Police, have charged this lady with Reckless Driving, no other charges are planning on being laid as they say she is a Young Inexperienced Driver on a Restricted License with no previous convictions...

    So if your a good boy or girl before you kill someone then that's ok?

    I just thought I'd let you know, to make matters worse she (the lady who killed him) is denying responsibility.

    She next appears in Auckland District Court 22 April.

    I would love to see Justice done - but I am reminded we live in NZ.

    To my friend Mark Tan-Wanklyn who loved his Motorbike - R.I.P
    To your members - drive and be aware and be safe.

    My friend leaves behind many close friends and a loving wife who only wishes justice but is resigned to see this girl walk out with a hit over the palm with a wet blanket thanks to the Police.

    I feel for you. That is so typical. At least the court got it right with that farmer in Northland.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Dammit, Im sorry Wari.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Of course the court is a public place, if you wanted to sit in and hear all the submissions we're quite able to do that.

    that is terrible news. seems so unjust. a credit to his wife who is only hoping for justice... I hope like hell justice is served for her sake & the sake of us all who are out there trying to stay alive. poor judgement is the REAL killer out on the roads. i hope the powers that be will wake up to this fact & put in place some measures to increase driver awareness & responsibility.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    So true. The guns are out here and we will use them when life and limb are at risk. The only time I see law enforcement is when I get up ti 111kmp.

    is it "Reckless Driving" or "Reckless Driving causing Death"?

    what about "man slaughter"?

    I guess it's not serious because she wasn't speeding.

    I struggle with this. She should have been charged with murder. I know you think the same but maybe we are to blame for not shouting load enough. I have issues with this stuff so better not go on or I will get fucken angry and then lose the plot but we are all like vegetables and we are going to see things get worse. Stand up and shout kick ass and get in and support people who are trying to change things. I note certain information published by the sensible sentencing trust are to be removed from police stations. This would appear to have come from the government. What the fuck is going on. I will fight to the end Helen if you are going to continue down this road. Fucken unbelievable. Now I am angry. Sorry people and I feel for this family and with others.
