Nasty accident - minor injury

[FJRider]

Ok, I always understood the first few km from the bridge were what formed the Devil's Staircase.

Always HAS been ...

The article mentioned 'alcohol wasn't a factor' with the idiot driver.

But I wonder what else he had taken - surely he couldn't drive that poorly unless he was impaired by some substance?

Or am I expecting too much...

You're expecting too much...

The male driver trying to impress his FEMALE passengers ...

Yup, or just being a stupid idiot.

Good work by the rider. "Expecting the unexpected". (& still being fucked up by it - to the angst of one KB retard and his "theories")

Poor form on Stuff's part to show the bike number plate but given the fairly description its probably a done deal

A sad level of reporting in general. "police looking for driver" at the beginning of their gossip column, but at the end "charges laid".
Normal standards of stuff, eh?

... surely he couldn't drive that poorly unless he was impaired by some substance?

Aucklander? ...

The legal perspective on that interests me as it seems hit and miss across a variety of publications... wait our resident bush lawyer experts....

I always wonder why people get concerned about number plates being shown. You can read both of them clearly in the stuff article but so what? Both vehicles were involved in the incident, it is not as if it is an alleged incident and there might be a case of mistaken identity.
