Crash on Waterloo Quadrant/Princes St (12 March)

[klingon]

I would like to politely suggest that people refrain from speculating on the cause of this crash, and refrain from making remarks about other alleged incidents involving this rider.

In a serious crash like this, it is entirely likely someone will be charged. It would be very unfortunate if anything in this thread suggested who might be at fault, based on previous observations of the rider rather than actual eye-witness evidence.

Perhaps some of these issues would be better discussed in person rather than on a public forum?

I don't see the difference between talking about this on a public forum and talking about this in a crowded bar. It's all just opinion and assumption and who knows what's true, nothing like that can be used in legal activity. We don't even know which way he was heading.

The difference is that things on here hang around for a lot longer and can be 'overheard' by hundreds of people.

A better way to put your first post would be... "You werent there, so shutup and dont speculate"

True but I'd think that internet banter would have even less credibility than pub banter. Bringing a speculating post based on assumptions from a thread from a University forum from a Biker forum into a legal case would hold up pretty poorly I'm sure.

And to be honest the only speculation on here has been "If that's the guy I'm thinking of, he rides like an idiot" by Dush. If stuff like that gets taken seriously, then Asian drivers are screwed!

yeah, the speculation of "it might be a person I have seen doing stupid things before, but then it might not, either way he might have been doing nothing wrong cause as everyone has seen at some points cagers do stupid things too"

Oh come off it lol, if that is the case ban all threads like this. Stevo you are a mod, delete the thread then.

I agree with rob, whats wrong with a little banter. It happens all the time with incidents.

Seems all good then. Broken pelvis would not be in the serious injury category.

A solid theory except for the car turning in front of him bit, most likely it was actually doing a u turn.
