Not just because we share the road with these drop kicks but because of the effect of the accident on the others around it..
Sounds horrendous and the driver needs shooting...

Oh look, and indignant policeman. Obviously not in the same category as a motorcyclist as he's allowed to have a voice in the media. Plenty of people suffer the same way. Most of them get vilified for being a drain on the taxpayer. But a policeman? Brave defender of public freedom? His pain is worse.
Cry me a river.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

That's a pretty shit comment James. Are your meds not working this morning.

Well yes he is a Policeman but he is speaking as a motorcyclist. Worlds overlap, even for motorcyclists... Rather than get hung up about his job applaud the fact that one motorcyclist found a way to get his voice heard over a tragic and frankly horrendous incident.

Come come James. The point of the article has nothing to do with him being a Policeman, and citing such a distraction detracts from the problem. And as you well know, sensationalism sells advertising, which is what the owners of commercial media want. I'm certain you could get onto mainstream media in a story like this if you wanted.Originally Posted by James Deuce
It seems from this article the problem is a person who has no respect for others, and as a consequence, no respect for their rules (aka, the law of the land). He has nothing, and hence "punishments" that take things away from him will have little impact.
There is probably only one thing he highly values, and that is alcohol. Figure out a way to take that away from him and you'll certainly have his attention.
Fully qualified Sifter.
John was one of our reg customers. Was a nasty accident with lots of peeps having to see it.
Don't forget to bring a towel
If he had 6 previous convictions for EBA like the article states, then he should have been in jail so the accident could not have occurred. It's yet another failure of the NZ government where they don't really care until someone dies. This guy is going to be out of jail within 2-3 years, and then I bet he will be up to the same old tricks until there's yet another victim. Kill it with fire.

Read that and was disgusted as well Paul.
Ive been hit by three drunk drivers in my 30+yrs of riding...I hate them with a fucking passion!
...I hope that cop meets up with that drunk driving prick in a dark ally one night...and doesn't hold ANYTHING back!
Never nice to lose a mate...but when it happens right in front of you....the memory of it stays with you for the rest of your life!
And the drunken prick not ONLY left the fucken scene..but went on to drunk drive again-
"As people tended to the injured, Whalley left the scene, walking about 200 metres to his home. Whalley has six previous drink driving convictions and was also arrested after getting back behind the wheel two weeks after the crash on December 19, 2012, the day after Wilson died in hospital."
..obviously learnt from his actions...now just watch the NZ "justice" system slap this prick with a wet bus ticket so he can go on to kill another innocent!
RIP John...loving thoughts to his family and friends...especially his mate who had to watch this horror unfold

Poor guys just lost his best mate...right in front of his eyes.
Im glad he's using the media to highlight this inccident, he's a fellow rider thats lost a friend to another drink driving fuckwit!...a repeat drink driver at that!, anything that helps get these fuckers off the road is a good thing

Yeah - not sure 'accident' describes this Pete....

IMHO, anyone like this should face a mandatory Manslaughter charge with Murder as an upgrade option. The US has Vehicular Homicide, don't we? These people know full well what they are doing, it's no "accident"! Same with anyone driving an unwarranted vehicle that has an accident due to a vehicle fault.
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

Pretty pathetic comment. Better not said dropkick.

I always struggle with how repeat drink drivers are allowed to exist
and yes I do mean exist - after the 2nd drink driving charge, you should be shot
Preferably in the liver or stomach to ensure a drawn out agonising death

yeah best be careful as its super easy to be over the limit these days and that alone does not make you a dangerous driver.. This appears to be done deliberately while drunk so he definately needs a permanent attitude adjustment...

The question has to be asked "what support or treatment had he been through"?
In most cases an individual will struggle to get off of the bottle. Then there is the continuing battle to stay off.
A very good mate has done just that and been dry for 20yrs. He still goes to AA every month though.
It surprised me when he said it is only "in remission". You never become an ex-alcoholic.
