Yea I shudder to think what the police et al found. Terrible. An investigation no doubt into the chase.

And yea I agree re: choices, we make our own - absolutely.

But it doesn't negate what the family will face for the next goodness knows how many years.
The ripple affect from these things can get pretty big.

Personally I wouldn't want to assume what the girl did or didn't know. I don't want to make a comment on whether or not she had a helmet, remember Anika's partner was reported to have not been wearing a helmet? But it came off in the crash?

Obviously theiving is not on.

Based on what's reported - They have paid a high price! But in reality neither of them will suffer directly for their downfall.
There will be brain damage if she survives.

The family will ultimately bear the brunt of this, and when they google for info (and I'm sure someone will), this thread will come up, and I don't wish any more hurt upon them.

Ah yes, the old "It won't happen to ME" mentality, too many on the roads ride/drive like that.

Well big news people: it DOES happen to you 'ME's' out there..and not always to the most deserving 'ME'.

Why do they do it?

because they are stupid.because their parents(if they are around)didnt equip them for the real world.because they were on drugs.because they were unaware of the possible consequences of their actions,due to too much TV and not enough reality.

take your pick

sad.

Heres hoping ... its a terrible thing for a family to loose someone ... but to loose someone through stupidity is quite horrific.

From what I understand the new thing is acc wont pay out only if it is a serious crime something like 3 years in jail but this may have changed

yep, will be a hard thing to deal with I'd imagine. And imagine having to be the family members having to look after the girl with massive head injuries for the rest of her life...if she survives. Every Xmas tarnished with this memory.

here we go again.

if the GOVT make us pay for others stupidity/bad luck/misfortunes,then we will all feel qualified and entitled to an opinion on how OUR money is spent.

Welcome to NZ,see our awesome blend of capitalism and communism at work

great isnt it?

2 years and up, and in the case of a survivor, I understand the proposals addressed emergency/rehab, but automatically removing lump sums, and earnings.
