    New Police road campaign

    Perhaps they could look at focusing on dangerous U-turns (especially by their own officers) which appear to be very common nowadays. It's only a matter of time before fatalities occur.

    They are unsympathetic "victims" so I dont care. (stupid nerdy dyed hair "alternative" fuckwit with his tattoos and his piercings. What a wonderful "individual" snowflake he is. She appears to have EATEN at least one policeman)

    If they were a nice young married, church going couple, he had a nice steady job, was wearing a suit and tie, short back and sides, 2.1 children and a mortgage then I might be sympathetic. But probably not.

    It can't have been in the script.

    How many ill advised u turns do the popo perform that result in near misses...?
    lets say yhat we get... what?.. one in 20 that result in a headline making crash...?

    All the fatal u turns , and a few other ones I know off ( including this one ) were made by cops on traffic duty.....

    Not chasing bad guys or saving lives.....
    just chasing another infringement notice to add to their (non existing) quota...

    SO many things here...

    Firstly: How is any vehicle going to stop with "who ate all the pies" in the front seat? Especially a toymota corona?

    #2: "He was a nice officer. I expected him to be raging but he admitted he was at fault."
    Sorry love, but the "independent police complaint's authority" will not come out with that conclusion.

    #3: People need to stop using "stuff" as a news site.

    And if they were "speeding" they could have avoided the crash all together

    I bet they'll claim he was doing 1km/h over the limit that way they can claim the cop only has partial responsibility and can use it as justification to keep zero tolerance all the time rather than just public holidays

    So called 'anticipation skills' do not put you in the mind of the fucking driver right?
    Sure you can look at the drivers wheels at an intersection to see if he or she is creeping and thinking 'yes' let's go...
    BUT......come on...surely you jest?

    Wonder if the loud crunch on impact was the sound of the bag of chips in her face getting squashed.

    The world is very black and white in what passes for your mind.

    I would suggest that the only thing that the petal involved in the accident can anticipate is someone passing a bong.

    I avoided two accidents this week. Spent a couple of hours at one of them helping the people in the car that crashed and providing statements. In both instances I anticipated and reacted to something that hadn't happened. In one instance there was no accident due to my actions. In that instance the problem started behind me and I reacted to the driver's behaviour behind me. In the other I saw that the chap was a metre off line entering a corner and I slowed dramatically to avoid the inevitable over reaction that the inattentive have to the consequences of their inattention.

    Why do you insist that people are incapable of reading driver behaviour especially when many of us have an expansive lexicon of incidents from which to draw experience and we can use that experience to respond BEFORE the accident happens?

    You are a dangerous idiot. The kind of dangerous idiot who advocates laxity, inattention, and a dumbing down of skill to the bare ability to control machinery all the while adhering to a set of rules that assumes that everyone is traveling at speeds less than that which will cause injury. Which is, incidentally, 20kph. That is the very upper limit at which the human body can come to a dead stop and consciousness inhabiting it can survive.

    I have stopped before and I will do it again, when I have come upon a Police vehicle and another vehicle sitting on the side of the road and all doors are shut and the occupants are in the vehicles. The person pulled over is often aggreived and can do something dumb when they start off again. Cops often go from one call to the next. Better safe than sorry. I'm not saying it's saved my arse, but when I'm on a bike, the only guarantee I can give you is that it hurts when someone knocks you off, even when they don't mean it.
    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 not the worst of it, he clearly was propelled through the firewall and had his chin in the brake fluid, and the power steering res upended on his head.
