Police say had the rider been wearing...

the KB sickle, scythe & pitchfork crew should be after, thanks for clearing that up....

Hey! Ya forgot the flaming torches.
Seriously, how's a mob supposed to operate at night? Huh? This isn't a 9-5 mob, they need to work 24hrs a day since there's a lot of mobbin' to be done.
Someone needs to draw up a list, so a mob doesn’t forget anything. That's embarrassing when you get a good mob going and then someone has to run home for something.
Sheesh.

Aren't you a little old to be sporting the backwards cap? You're excused if you were attending an outdoor arm wrestling competition....

Anyone old enough to get that?

My vis vest stinks of stale cream and custard. It was the only thing I had to clean myself with after Maha stuck a maaaaasive custard pie in my face at the weekend.

Vehicles don't pull u-turns without giving some clues as to their intention.

You're kidding right? You know that women drive cars as well right?

The saddest thing is that as a motorcyclist you have a very high chance of proving yourself wrong or foolish. The trouble is, it might cost you your life.

And even Drew will be sad about that, even thought he's a cunt.

If you think TV3 News coverage of that incidet was so poor and judgemental then "Make a Complaint". I think d) covers the complaint criteria.


The Broadcasting Act 1989 requires every broadcaster to be responsible for maintaining in programmes and their presentation, standards which are consistent with:

a) The observance of good taste and decency

b) The maintenance of law and order

c) The privacy of the individual

d) The principle that when controversial issues of public importance are discussed, reasonable efforts are made, or reasonable opportunities are given, to present significant points of view, either in the same programme or in other programmes within the period of current interest

e) Any approved Code of Broadcasting Practice applied to programmes.

or Standard 4 and ./or Standard 6...

Grounds for a Formal Complaint

Formal complaints allege that the broadcaster has failed in its responsibility to maintain one or more of the broadcasting standards set out in Standards 1 to 11 below.

Standard 1: Good Taste and Decency

Standard 2: Law and Order

Standard 3: Privacy

Standard 4: Controversial Issues - Viewpoints

Standard 5: Accuracy

Standard 6: Fairness

Standard 7: Discrimination and Denigration

As has already been said a number of times in this thread, you have to be looking for the clues in order to see them.

I'm sure you've seen plenty of those videos where a voice says "Let's see that again" and the camera rewinds to the start. Suddenly things are seen that were missed on the initial viewing.

Those are the things we need to be training ourselves to notice without relying on the benefit of hindsight.

Correct. And I'm sure that we do. Look, that is. However, and I'm not making excuses here...
Sometimes we fail to see.
Sometimes we fail to process what we are seeing.
Sometimes we fail to process/react in time.
Shit, sometimes we probably fail to look in the first place.

To stay safe, we may be required to have superhuman powers of observation/reaction - but note that even superhumans are still human.
