Police killing us again!

[Foxzee]

Haha prob end up in PD but what the hell, he'll read it ! Quoted me in another (motott 1st of may) thread and big noted himself a little ! But to bring it on topic, i'd say he's just a cop hater who hate's me right at this moment lol and i aint even a cop !
You know i'd quite happily eat humble pie if he wanted to give (and gave) me the learn on the track ! But to stalk me and red rep me for saying this MOT cop will prob be in tears about what happened, then i will quite happily publicly show him as the fool he is !

Well I no ya ain't a cop lol......and yeah humble pie...I no you would eat that...lmao...baggin of you sux

To topic...it's a nightmare for family and friends.....police etc...and no one's tummy is going to sit right with any humble pie!

Human error eh,all things said and done with a lifetime of being human old people should be the best drivers out there,can anyone post up the stats on the carnage they cause?

[candor]

Once again a cop has made an unsafe u-turn and the result is a dead motorcyclist.
I thought the job of the Highway Patrol is Road Safety but time and time again all we see is the cops driving extremely dangerously to collect revenue.

Something has to be done about this.

It is obvious what - the AA, Akilla and Candor Trust have been begging for years - full review of quotas. They are damn well illegal in Ohio for exactly these reasons and shoud be here. With them there can never ever be road safety. This is bigger than just MCs - little children on school crossings are getting hit by quota racers.

Does he hate arrogant power-trippy cops? iam sure we would

Have Patrick over for dinner.

[scumdog]

firstly this saddens me deeply that some one has needllesly lost their life.
In the road code and law it is illegal to overtake on a double yellow line maybe the police standards committe should create rules like no u turns on double yellow lines with out 100 metres clear visibility? that would have avoided the accident maybe

There were DOUBLE yellow lines at the scene?

No but both you and Candor seem to share the same hatred for the English language and the education system in this country. I'm no Hitcher nor is my grammar and spelling flash, but this barely understandable text speak crap and you and Candor spam is just painful.

[98tls]

Theres really only one answer.At the very least the "human error" factor could be 1/2d.

Not double yellow, so i guess he deserved to die then...or what is your point officer?

[Old Steve]

Tragic. But this is the result of two mistakes.

The policeman just shouldn't have made his turn there, or indead turned - he was never going to catch the speeding ute himself. However, Paul was supposedly chasing the ute so must have been doing around 150 km/hr too.

You don't expect to come over a hill and find a Policecar doing a three point turn over a double yellow line on a narrow country road, but you do have to consider that there may be idiots out there who aren't going to think before doing something stupid.

RIP Paul -
I was nearly taken out in my car when travelling through Te Kauwhata about 4 years back, I had to swerve hard to miss this cop doing a U turn in front of me. Gave me a hell of a fright.
I have previously started a thread about cagers doing U turns. It pisses me off to see this has happened again.
I feel very sorry for his family.
I get the feeling that police see a speeding car, all else seems to blinkered out. They see red and just give chase no matter what.

I saw the news tonite and where this officer turned around, on top of a rise, was in my opinion bloody stupid.


The police force should not let this happen again. U turns are one of the most dangerous manoeuvres anyone can do on the road.

There should be strict training given to officers about completing a U turn.
This training or refresher training is not working.

Just trying to follow all the facts on KB...they are all facts these posts I've been reading, aren't they?

Time to view some re-runs of Shorland Street, more real than most of what my eyes see here..later dudes.....

[candor]

Indoo keeps demanding Ixion produce evidence of especial MC victimisation. The evidence is both on the street for anyone to see and in the findings of the Goddard report. Try reading it in full instead of accusing me of spamming - it contains the info you are in denial of. Funny how strong a position you take on issues that are actually valid re Police. Was that too texty for you to understand?

[miloking]

No but both you and Candor seem to share the same hatred for the English language and the education system in this country. I'm no Hitcher nor is my grammar and spelling flash, but this barely understandable text speak crap and you and Candor spam is just painful.

I am sorry, I will not let that happen again sir. I know its not an excuse but unfortunately I do not posses superior officer training to master the intricacies of English language like you do!
