Stony,
Well said!!!! Very well balanced points of view.

**nosebleed** · 19th April 2010, 19:35

Nice analogy with the stock-truck

**R6_kid:Me** · 19th April 2010, 22:13

What if the cop car was a broken down stock truck and there was another car coming the other way?

**Smifffy** · 19th April 2010, 22:19

Has DB seen this? It needs to go international!!!

What if? it wasnt a truck... it was cop trying to collect money!

Thanks guys, radio NZ seem to call me on all biker issue's now , I never knew Paul so I do hope I did him justice with the media.
They edited out the bit where I mentioned Pauls family and asked thier privacy be respected as notified by a family friend, but never mind TV3 took care of that angle

My thoughts now turn to Pauls family, and there really is nothing more to be said

Lets hope the system changes to ensure no other bikers, or innocent Kiwi's suffer the same fate.

Thanks for being so small minded. Yes, in this case it as a cop that fucked up by doing a 3-point turn in a stupid place. In the interview StoneY said the bike could have been a stock truck and then this would be a different story - all I'm saying is that the cop car could have just as easily been any other stationary vehicle hidden over the brow of the hill, perhaps a broken down and immovable car/van/ute/truck or even a crashed motorcycle, and the rider would still be dead.

Making cops safer drivers is one thing - but you still have another 2 million+ other road users to worry about though - starting with yourself.

**Ixion** · 20th April 2010, 12:43

So you support the cop doing a three point turn there because he could have been a stock truck. Would you also support a stock truck doing the same thing because he could have been a cop? Your arguemnt is that no stupidity should ever be condemned because other instances of stupidty can always be found. So you not condemn a drunk driver who takes out a biker, because there will always be other drunk drivers ?
