Given that his photos been published, and everyone and his dog know hes an ex copper, I 'd say hes going to have a fun time in the cells.

That is assumming he does end up in the cells. Being rich and able to afford a top lawyer and all the associated 'experts' makes a difference.

Really he should get a minimum of 5 years and a disqualification period of at least 10 given that he has effectively killed another person. And had the victim and family not been in an SUV you can guarantee that he would have killed three people.

In N.Z the lives of victims are cheap and the lives of criminals are held dear. He might not even go inside, with a bit of community service, donation to his victim and a period of disqualification 'justice' will be served. Meanwhile the victims life if she does survive will be destroyed, as will her husbands and daughter who will have to spend the rest of theres caring for her.

The person whose actions directly caused it will go on living his as per normal, he feels no remorse, no guilt and accepts no responsibility for what he did. It was the fault of the poorly laid out roadworks why he overtook into oncoming traffic, a medical condition was responsible for why he ran from the scene and no doubt an error in police breath testing procedure why he blew over the limit. He appears to be completely ammoral and utterly criminal.

I hope justice is done for the husbands sake but I know it won't be and thats the tragedy.

Just wondering if theres any resident experts that can explain a condition that appears to make drivers run from the scenes of crashes and hide from the Police in bushes. Especially given that he didn't need any medical attention and didn't even see a doctor till the day after.

I would have thought it was because he was pissed worthless loser whose only thought was to save his own arse.

He crashed into a young family, putting a woman in hospital fighting for her life. If she does survive she will be left seriously brain damaged. Her husband and young daughter are sitting by her bedside going through god knows what. Meanwhile this pathetic peice of trash has already returned to work, hired a top lawyer and is trying to shake off any responsiblity for the lives he has destroyed.

The victims side.

And this pissed, pathetic, piece of trash loser is an ex-cop.
But he seems to have found his true vocation at a level of human worthlessness entirely appropriate to his moral standing - property developer.

Should be done like a dinner - why was HIS time so imprtant that he had to drive like that? To get to the next wine-bar before it closed? .

Anybody who has had to follow-up the victims of a crash like that knows the torment they go through - and through no fault of their own.

It's not the dead that are the concern (no disrespect meant) but those who suffer permanent disability, pain and lack of employment from the actions of another idiot driver for month after month, year after year - arghhh!

We are all free here to exhibit whatever opinions we may have about the rights or wrongs of this situation, and the personalities of those involved. But we must also remember some of the facts. These facts are that you have an accused who is possibly "connected", who clearly has money and who has an understanding of the justice system. In court it's not about what's right or wrong. It's not about facts. It's not about morals. It's about evidence. And evidence has a price.

While we judge this guy for playing the justice system to his advantage, remember that we all play the "system" to our advantage too. I would hope we don't play it for quite the same reasons this chap is, but we still play it.

Now on a final note - karma.

This guy is a piece of Shit but he will probably get off like Rickard and co did and there will probably be a whole bunch of supressed evidence ETC.

This is a troll right?

Or did this dude crash while he was a cop and the crash was never noticed until he was a property developer?

Or are you just thick and can't read properly???

Fight / flight response.

I got rammed yesterday, road rage. I was sure I took down the number plate correctly as he was caged in at the lights but when I went to the cop station I didn't have it right. The hormones that run through your body at this time do strange things to you.

They shouldn't run but they do. And if you talk to an ambo you also hear "fight" stories where they pull someone from a car with broken limbs and they're swinging punches...

I don't condone it, but near all phsyc and physiology textbooks outline this response in people in great detail.
