Bikers collide with Police car in Buller Gorge (1 December)

MD · 4th February 2009, 18:19

The trial is set for late March.

I presume the PCA can't release their findings until after the court proceedings. The officer retired at the end of 2008.

The Riders have recovered now. As best you can with smashed pelvises, leaving them with noticeable limps when walking.

I hope that cop gets whats coming to him. They need to know that they are not above the law, they are there to up hold it. It'a unfortunate that there are so many dirty cops in the force.

Steady on. The guy might be a bad driver but that doesn't make him dirty.

My bro dosn't walk with a limp.
Pelvis smashed by a cop car pulling out in front of the Nelson Road Touring Club convoy outside Greymouth some years ago.

For those wondering. The trial is set for next week and expected to last 4 to 5 days.

TV coverage is expected.

Bit hard when you make a cockup at work you end up in court. Mind you I believe you have dirty neighbours.

I hope that one day you grow up enough to recoil with embarrassment at the fact that you posted that shit.

I dont think this cop saw himself above the law and the chances of him being dirty are slim. But clearly he's not the sharpest knife in the draw and (as a professional road user) he made a stupid mistake. Yup mistakes are easy to make (though some of us can die as a result) and if you and I made the same error, then we would be nicked and face the consequences of our stupidity in court. Just as I expect for this cop.
