    Attempted Manslaughter?

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3653098a10,00.html

    They gonna charge him properly? Or make it some wussy driving charge.


    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Look, they had a hard time as kids, failed at school, and dabble in a fair bit of the old illegal substances- it's hardly THEIR fault - sheesh!
    Diarrhoea is hereditary - it runs in your jeans

    If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...

    The person was "directionally challenged"...

    Think of all the foriegners who migrate to this country and can get confused driving in the right-hand lane of the left-hand side of the road, in this country...

    At least speed DIDN'T kill in this instance, or the tax collectors would have had to leave their tax-collecting post and actually DO something towards road safety............................................ ....................

    They'd struggle to get home on that. Who did he attempt to kill?
    Or was he just reckless in attempting to lose the cops.
    Reckless is probably as good as it'll get.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Not a chance I'm afraid. It'll be reckless, probably failing to stop as well and whatever other offences that were disclosed upon arrest, drugs etc in their possession.

    I don't think attempted manslaughter is a possible offence. It's a contradiction in terms.

    Maybe we had the same granddad, Motu! (Or they went to the same driving school).
    Mine didn't go to court either - died shortly afterwards.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yeah I know. It just beggars belief that driving the wrong way down a motorway doesn't automatically earn a serious criminal charge like attempted manslaughter.

    I know the speed kills mantra annoys some people but combined velocities in head on accidents are what account for the tremendous damage and carnage caused.

    I feel sorry for the poor police person ordered to follow this idiot the wrong way down the motorway. Kudos for bravery in the face of stupidity though.

    All they need is a hug and a nice mug of Milo!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Mutual grandads?

    Is there anyone here who didn't have a grandad like this?
    My own grandkids could have made the same claim once! Bring back old New Zealand.

    Old and stupid is more forgiveable than young and stupid - our Grandads weren't always that way.My mother was a bit upset by that episode saying he was once admired for his driving.Actualy at that time he was cast out by the rest of the family and spent most of his time with one of his sons who was also outcast - one day while driving a truck a Mini pulled out in front of me and I felt like running this fool off the road....then I recognised the hedghog haircut....and was even more tempted to biff him into the curb....

    But these guys go beyond ingorance....driving on the rims??!! I'm with Spud....what else did they find?
