Clown drives 400km in unsafe vehicle

[Hawkeye]

This idiot is about to be made a hero in 3 news. They are completely going to dramatising it

Where's the pink sticker?

The Lexus got green stickered in Welly but the cop allowed them to drive home to Waikanae

[JMemonic]

I think the vehicle would/should have been ordered off due to it being unwarrantable, the damage to the front window would be impeding the drivers vision and is over the 5 mm limit, Smith and Smith could have been called and Raji could have injected his special rasin per the telly add.

These folks did not run from bodies in the streets, they had a few bricks fall on their car, they are claiming they panicked and that lasted for the next what 3-4 days? BS.

[The Baron]

I agree that this vehicle should not be on the roads - But somehow this time is different and to judge these people I think we need to walk in their shoes.

[pzkpfw]

... need to walk in their shoes.

That's what they should have done!

Hey, I am not saying that it was right or wrong. It's not everyday that you experience such a traumatic event and see dead people lying there without being able to do anything. I am just saying that none of us really know how we'd react in the same situation is all.....

True but the police and all the other observers of that vehicle and their behaviour by using it on the road could have corrected the situation.

As some have said they took the long road home so their panic claim doesn't ring true!

The news report did try to make them out as hero's in my opinion too!

Compared to the hysteria over how "dangerous" roadworthy motorcycles are ACC should be seen to publicly condemn these peoples unlawful actions and those of police observers who did nothing too!

My tyres are fucked, I am missing bolts from the frame of my bike.

Not only do I still ride it.....I haven't crashed.

Turns out it must be on the driver/rider to make something unsafe eh?

You must be a limp dick

[avgas]

If he'd had a head-on and killed someone, what would the headlines have been?

4wd indestructible

[Elysium]

Nice to see the police don't give a shit according to their spokesmen.

Man I'm sure the boy racers are going to be using these two idiots as an excuss to drive their shit boxes.

[avgas]

Big smiles and showing off wrecked vehicle. Couple of "Look at me"s having their fifteen seconds of glory.
Retards.

Heh....from recall you have a similar photo album........

[fuknKIWI]

Why wasn't he stopped?

Because of thise very rare creatures decent cpos who told them to take care.

[schrodingers cat]

When you have experienced what they had then come back to us and tell us what you would've done.

Seems to me a good many people who experienced the same thing DIDN'T do what he did.

Hush now.

Man I'm sure the boy racers are going to be using these two idiots as an excuss to drive their shit boxes.

They can't get over the supermarket speed humps so they're going to struggle on the local roads

Talk about a kb over reaction. What they did was no worse than riding in the rain visibility wise.
Is it more dangerous than doing a 24 hour ride?
The risk of falling off your high horse is greater.

Big non event.

For real - they've probably been using it to do the school run every day since without incident.....
