    Fatal motorcyclist vs vehicle hit-and-run driver charged

    I see that there was a young man was finally charged after a hit and run in which a young motorcyclist was killed.
    The driver did not stop and a 5 month police investigation and an appeal from his family for witnesses managed to identify the driver.
    I know that whatever happens the bloke wont be back but the driver will be held accountable for his actions which is good.

    He ( Akzle) is right here, not held to anything except a bs sentence, this prick should be hung drawn and quartered/.
    Then his family should be publicly vilified for not dobbing him in all this time, they knew!
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Lousy $4,500 for taking a man's life? That's pretty messed up if you ask me.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Fuck yea, way cheaper than a hitman!

    Or you get 3 months rent free with free food!

    Win win if you hate the victim.

    The punishment for anything causing death should be a lot more severe. Manslaughter is manslaughter, regardless of the weapon. In this case the weapon was an easily controlled car. It's very easy to NOT kill anyone.....

    thats MAXIMUM. They will take into account how sorry he is, how young he is etc.
    Safer communities together guys.

    Its a long stretch to claim how sorry he is now.
    He wasn't sorry enough to stop at the time, but left.. and did not come forward willingly.
    If it was a genuine unavoidable thing with the bloke being knocked off and suddenly was on the road in front of him and unable to stop, well that would have to be looked at.
    It speaks volumes that he took off and avoided detection.
    He also had an opportunity to enter a plea.

    He is sorry he has been identified.

    He has only been charged at this stage, 'a charge which carries a maximum penalty of three months imprisonment or a $4500 fine'

    He could come away with even less, stay tuned.

    Yes he fucked up but I'll bet every person who gets behind a wheel or a set of handlebars makes a mistake nearly every time. Usually there are no consequences other than a 'phew'....

    Yes - this time someone died...

    What penalty would you suggest?

    He also fled the scene and was only found five months later after a tip-off. Scum bag.

    cut off his hands and feet, and burn his families home down, take all their assets and sell them and give them to the victim.

    Its sort of like sharia law but without the icky religious bits

    What's the bet he gets a sentence discount for an 'early guilty plea'.
