where have you been? http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...lling-us-again!

Not to mention the Speeding ute was alledgidly doing 154k.

Still, a silly place to attempt a U-Turn.

**puddytat** · 19th April 2010, 20:18

From what I saw on the TELLY, not only did he do a stupid manoeuvre in a dumb fucking place ,HE ALSO IGNORED THEDOUBLE YELLOW LINES.......

Whilst your out there "doing something about this" you might like to take care of the other 99% of motor vehicle drivers that kill motorcyclists.

This cop will probably do the same as the cop down south and perf out of the force with a nice big pay out rather than face tPolice Disaplinary action.

Once again the red mist has taken over and the cop is fixated on his target of a speeding motorist (probably doing 112km/h) and therefore forgets all basic road rules. How many more times does this need to happen before the police change their policies.

Ohh luxury of having dedicated track bike

and no, i wouldnt want to have their job either....but when i say "their" i mean the minority of cops who are realy out there to make world better place (i've met two in last 10 years and believe me i get the opportunity to "chat" quite often

who knows maybe this dumbass was also good guy and just seriously fucked up...i guess we will never find out.

How many times/investigations must there be, before a clear instruction is given..."Do not stop or turn without several hundred metres clear road in both directions"

It's called instruction "common sense".

Wow, you really have your finger on the pulse, don't you?

yep but cops first because, they spend awful lot of time preaching about safety and i have to watch retarded TV adds for money from my taxes!!
....have you even been told off for doing 114km by non-indicating asian student with L plates, or housewife reversing out of driveway in people mover without looking out of windows? I guess not so...i expect those to be bad drivers and menace to cyclists and bikers.

i feel sorry for the dead guy and his family, it sux, it is the reality of riding though, out for a blat and them wham, its happened to most of us, severity varies obviously.

I would like to know if any member of the public that caused a serious crash has had to pay 30k in reparation to the victim of their crash, because thats what the last cop that knocked those two bikers off had to pay.

Id hedge my bets that NO member of the public would be stung 60k in total for reparation and loose their job on top of it.

For instance if your local council worker crashes the company car whilst at work, cause serious injuries to two bikers, would they get stung 60k reparation and loose their job? not a chance aye, but a cop gets that, Fair? fuck no.

This cop in this new crash clearly fucked up, and you know hes hurting right now, hes certainly lost his job, and hes in for hell for some time and at the end of the deserves it, basic driving stuff up, but like others have said human error.

Its a game of odds, they spend all day on the road, doing U turns and the like all the time 1 in 10,000 rolls of the dice are going to end bad.

i still would like to see fair treatment for all, regardless of vocation.

Think you might find we will ! Heard mention he was a 35 yr mot man so, A/ not a young hot head but a seasoned traffic cop and B/ not a wanna be traffic cop who's just come off a beat in the CBD !
I'd put money on the guy being in tears today !

**Guzzinut** · 19th April 2010, 20:28

Certanly sounds like Buller gorge and makes it even dummer if he was lookin at the brow of the hill and did a U Turn with all the specialist driver training, but supporting officer says he was doing the same manouvre he's been doing for years, sounds like its only a matter of time before someones luck ran out.
Adrenilin and the thrill if the chase take over and I guess, I wonder if he ceased the chase just before impact. U TURNS should be illegal as they are in some countries,

Is it really worth killing people in the pursuit of a motorist to issue a $60 fine?

A $60 fine for 145km/h?

Boy, some people have been charged waaay too much..............
