    Oh rubbish, its a bend on a narrow road with trees on either side. Anyone considering a 3 pointer there would have rocks in their head (or full of adreniline). Hope they throw the book at him...

    Cop looks to have made a bad mistake, doing a 3 pointer there...

    Who hasn't made mistakes before? I have, but I got away with it and learned from the mistake. It will never happen again, that is for sure. He got caught out, as did the bikers.

    As for fault, how about this...

    Biker 1 who owned up and turned himself in alledgedly speeding - 1 x speeding ticket to him.

    Cop - 2 x Careless Use Causing Injury charges

    The two bikers - failing to stop short within the amount of clear road ahead.

    Quota = 5 tickets...

    Best wishes to the two bikers, hopefully on the mend.

    Disappointing to "hear" (on here at least) that the cop has not made any contact with them to see how they are..... Or is that a crock?

    That certainly would be a crock.
    Cop probably told not to since could be taken as admission of liability... If he simply hasn't, then the prick should be out on his ear. Although I have heard that to be a caring human is not a prerequisite for HP duties
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    2 charges for one incident? Interesting.

    I realise there were 2 collisions, but they were due to the same careless move?

    That is right. Think about it...if you had a sword, swung it in a circle and took off the heads of 3 people standing near, would you be charged with 1 or 3 counts of murder/manslaughter? All were a result of the same action.

    That would have to be a sharp sword....and a strong arm too...have you ever chopped someone's head off with a sword?

    I chopped the head off a rat a while back, with an Imperial Russian light cavalry sabre. Not a big target admittedly but the little buggers can move jolly fast.Nice clean cut when I checked the head , except that I did get a bit of shoulder blade. I'd have had another try except that I haven't been able to find another rat.

    Yes, I know , a sabre is not really the most appropriate blade, but at such times one uses what comes immediately to hand.

    Really? What obligation is anyone under to apologise or make contact in any way other than the basic exchanging of details to another party involved in an accident that they should lose their job if they don't, (apologise or make contact)?
