Surely there must have been more to it than just "he didn't understand"??? I've always thought the fact was, ignorance is no defence?

If that was just it, then it's pathetically unjust...

[Posh Tourer :P]

Ignorance is no excuse in any other circumstance - sorry officer, I didnt realise I wasnt allowed to lane split. (Hypothetical)


He'll still give you a ticket....


So why didnt this guy get hit?

If you saw "you are XXXXXXX to drive", wouldnt you find out what XXXXXXX meant? If you dont, isnt that willful avoidance of knowledge?

See what we need to do if 100% sure of our facts is all meet at symond st on our bikes invite the media and block the road!! and get some attention drawn into it. Im in for a starter

NZ sentencing sucks......

"community service" should mean breaking stones and making roads with a ball&chain tied up to the leg.... a.k.a. "hard labour"
And the word "hours" should have been "weeks".....or at least "days"
That'll save some taxpayer's money aye?

Now theres a KB'er i could follow... unfortunately you'd might find that the cops have more power to prevent you from blocking a road than they have of punishing such abhorrent act on our roads....???

oops no water in the pool

but yes i am a dick

[Coldkiwi]

that is madness.

Why not a manslaughter charge?? Manslaughter has certainly been used on other stupid drivers causing death, why not this guy?? Any cops here know what it takes before you could successfully try that?

Mans laughter has to be an unlawful act, driving whilst disqualified, stolen vehicle, driving really bad

Care less driving 'not the actions of a prudent driver"

Wether you're a dick or not isn't really something that interests me.

I was just commenting on how unjust it is that the guy didn't get charged.

I did read you post & the article btw - did I miss something??? It is possible b/c I'm a Uni student too.

And then people wonder why there's no respect for our "justice" system.

If this sort of things continues, people will start taking the "law" into their own hands.

Doesn't do much for racial tolerance either...
