The govt will be more concerned about the loss of tourism dollars from this dipstick chinese driver than it will be about two kiwis being taken out.

I cant see the police getting the laws to enable them to take this kind of driver off our roads. If they did, it could be the thin edge of the wedge to cull out other ' undesirables '.

The article refers to ' incompetent / inexperienced ' drivers. Its a bit hard to become experienced without going thru the inexp stage first. Incompetent however, can stay with some drivers all their lives.

Tourists should simply, not be allowed to drive off in a car as this woman did, with her driving background.

You might want to check out the Annual road death toll in China. There will be no overseas concerns that a few New Zealanders died in a road accident.

Both foreign and local ... not necessarily a bad thing though ...

With experience (usually) comes a degree of wisdom ... and hindsight is a wonderful thing. We should have it before we need it ....

SHE had a legal drivers license. Something many Kiwi drivers ON our roads do NOT have.

You just have to wonder at the level of her utter stupidity. Does she have a brain, a conscience? Her picture in the DomPost looked like zero remorse on her face at court.

No laws can ever account for someone so bloody stupid. A few hours driving experience only said to be under 40kph only and she goes to the other side of the world, buys a powerful car and drives all over the road at 100kpm (by eyewitness reports) until she kills. The Chinese use a bullet through the head for corruption. We use a bit of 'disqualified to drive for a while'. Which in this bitch's case means you can't go out and kill anyone else for the next few months.

If I sound upset I ride that road annually and I love it, and respect it. We all make a simple assumption that ever vehicle around us is driven by someone who can actually control their vehicle. This bitch couldn't control a car at the most basic level of a 12 y.o.

Bad assumption - start thinking real

No it's common sense to expect others to be below average, make mistakes, not look etc. But there is a minimum expectation they can actually operate a car beyond that of child

It IS common sense to expect every other road user to operate their vehicles safely ...

To rely on that to happen at all times is NOT ...

To expect all other road users to ride/drive like idiots ... and you won't be surprised, and get caught out when you actually meet one. And you WILL meet one ... (or more)

Remember ... if you know YOU don't do it right all the time ... don't expect others will all the time either ...
