    Unfortunately, having lived in the BOP for many years, this driver, should he live (I hear he's not doing well), probably won't learn a fucking thing from this accident. Remember the guy who fell asleep at the service station recently with his kid in the car? It wasn't HIS first offence either. I just feel gutted that he took out three innocent riders who probably had very little time to react.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    RIP fellow bikers.

    The gutting part is that if the drunk driver lives, he'll get a slap on the wrist at best. People who drink drive and kill someone should be charged with murder IMHO.

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Condolences to all their families

    What an utter waste. What a sad loss, even for the rellies of the driver.

    Dying so young is sad, but I'd rather die doing something I loved, as they obviously did, than in a rest home.

    RIP

    Tragic to hear of things like this happening. Sounds like everybodys worst nightmare. Condolences to all involved.

    It is indeed a sad case when people think its ok for them to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

    As mentioned earlier it should be treated as murder or at the very least manslaughter.

    Condolences to the families of the riders and I hope that the kids in the car soon recover.

    Did a reckless act (drove while drunk, perhaps?) and caused the deaths (of three bikers) should = Manslaughter.

    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Terrible for the riders familes and friends. Would prefer though that the NZH led with "drunk car driver kills 3 motorcyclists" rather than "Motorcycle crash death toll rises to three" as if this is the fault of the bikes. I note a lot of sympathy for the drunken car-twat in the article, which doesn't move me much. Unless there is a culture change within certain sections of society that read these stories as tragic accidents ("don't punish me/my son/our local boy further for killing some biker/pedestrian/school mates in a drunken hoon because I am really sad about it ...") this should be classed as manslaughter clean and simple.

    We were on our way back from a trip down south and several well-meaning calls from friends and family who thought we may be involved.

    Although glad to allay their fears we were (and are) saddened at the tragic loss to brother and sister riders.
