...thunderstruck, astounded, incredulous, discombobulated...
Words fail me.
An overseas student driving without a licence who did a U-turn in Symonds St and killed a motorcyclist has been found not guilty of driving while disqualified because he did not know the meaning of "prohibited".
C'mon all you young'uns, the product of our modern education system, put your ignorance to use! Forget about your demerit points, tear up your tickets, laugh at the law...

what were the police thinking even charging him in the first place? what a waste of resources
Just chillin'
So we can let these idiots into the country and don't have to expect that they know the law or even what common sense is ?? If we were in their country we would still be held accountable if we broke any of their laws and killed someone .... Another case of the law being here for the ones who are willing to be accountable but those who have no social responsibility will always fight it and find a way to dodge theirs ..... He should have at least been deported !!!

Yet another example of the failing judicial system. Rapists murderers and basterd bike killing motorists are parading around laughing. It's about time society took a harden up pill and deal to these bastards.

How about passing a manslaughter sentence for the judge if he isn't willing to punish the person who did it?
f*sakes.Putsomeclotheson!
It'd be a straight world without twisties....
Wonder how the MC's family feels about this??????? Closure anyone?
p.s David beckham gets off on charges of intentionally fouling some welsh soccer player because of "Lack of Evidence", AFTER making a national apology to his teammates and fans, and admitting he DID it.
It'd be a straight world without twisties....

I thought it was "forbidden" (according to The Harold).
The thing that got me (apart from it obviously being bullshit) is that whether he understood or not, unless he was really ashamed (which he wouldn't have been if he didn't truly didn't understand) he would've talked to his mates about it, and they would have no doubt told him to just ignore it. It's extremely unlikely that he thought he was able to keep driving; the judge must've left his reason and commonsense in his other robes.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

I'm glad you had the energy and fortitude to draw this to everyone's attention, Mike.
I'm more-or-less speechless, but sadly unsurprised.
Slimy, greasy, dishonest bastard. My *arse* he doesn't understand 'forbidden'. They have no conscience, no morality, no sense of responsibility... kill 'em all, I say. Kill 'em all.

Why does that NOT fucken suprise me!
they should even be in the country if the don't understand the meaning of the word. They have to sit a language test (that their mates sit for them over the PHONE) to pass the verbal comprehension part of the test..

I'm not defending this young guy's actions. The consequences of driving illegally and killing someone as a result should be more in line with what you'd get for manslaughter so the penalty this guy got is a joke and unfortunately it just adds to the body of evidence that NZ is a very soft touch for immigrants. I have worked closely with several Asian people (recent immigrants) with NZ permanent residence and in some cases citizenship, al of them very good sorts (hard working, smart etc) and heard from them how NZ is seen as a nation of fools by masny Asian people. Chinese and some other Asian nationalities have a different mindset. There is no shame for them if they use our lax system to their advantage, and the shame more properly belongs to the society that drops it pants and offers itself up to all comers. I could give you so many examples that it would make your blood boil. Just one is that due to the 1 child policy in China mosr couples (predictably) have only 1 child. So when their child migrates to NZ they (the usually elderly) parents can come here too, to join their child. Something to do with 50% or more of their offspring being in NZ. They can then, after a qualifying period (2 years?) enjoy the same old age pension, healthcare etc that our mums and dads get. What is more, their offspring may be on the dole. True story. Now whose fault is that: the people who legally enjoy the benefits offered by the NZ taxpayer, or the idiots in Government who offer this remarkable largesse?

To study at university you need to pass an english language test.
If your paying $12,000 a year to study you can afford to buy a dictionary.
This guy has no excuses for not knowing what forbidden meant.
Court reports list him as living in Newton and there's a picture of him in the Herald this morning.
I'm sure someone here would be able to help with directions if you wanted to give him some remedial english lessons.

That's not what bugged me.
What bugged me was that apparently "Careless driving causing death" is worth a few hours community service. Great. Kill a biker, sweep some leaves.
