Death by Boy Racer

[Flip]

The young man who allegedly caused the accident is not going to get any sympathy here in Christchurch. We have a real problem here with illegal street racing and the citizens here have really had enough, look for example at the questionable laws that are being introduced to limit cruising. This is about a reasonable as I am going to get on the subject of boy racers.

It's a pity but we haven't had a good witch burning here in Christchurch for a while and this young man has been found guilty by association. If he was "racing" well he can just suffer the consequences, he will have 3 meals a day and all the sex he can handle for a while.

This driver has got the "learn " in the worst possible way. But it will only be him. Problem is what about the others, as flip says , if you don't live in chch you may not understand the anti coming from us.
There still isn't a no bullshit approach taken, every day last week without exception I saw some clown drifting thru a intersection. I've had a skyline drifting round the inside of me on a two lane roundabout not too long ago , guess hitting a fuel tanker wasn't a major hassle for him.......... .
Filed a traffic report about one kid in his car going thru a school zone , overtaking a slowing car, well ova 60km, he got a warning....... christ he could have killed a kid, a parent .....my son?

Two dead and one seriously injured at Whangarei overnight, no KB ranting about that - and I'd put money on it that some form of idiocy by the driver - not an 'accident' that caused this on too.

I see huff3rs point to a certain extent - it seems to me that according to KB posters it's OK for people to be killed on NZ roads unless (a) they are kids and (b) they are killed by a young punk in a fast looking car.

Have I summed up the KB way??

The Whangarei accident only involved the one vehicle, and no innocent pedrestrians. Effectively, if it was "that some form of idiocy by the driver" then it was more like suicide. I do still feel some sympathy for the passengers as even though they chose to be there, they weren't in control of the vehicle.

mmmm, on reflection, neither was the driver.

If you can't crontrol yourself in a road car perhaps you need to take the bus FFS

Gosh, and golly darned! people don't read what I write then. (She said tongue in cheek). I think I might have written the same words on page 7.
Must be that when a woman writes stuff it's like when she opens her mouth - people (read "blokes") close their ears to shut out the drone

Put another way --You have NEVER made a mistake riding or driving?

Its not about making a mistake, its about actions resulting in dead kids.

He who is without sin cast the first stone?

No problem, I'd say child killers would be in the minority around here.

Saw one exibition of moronic prowess a couple of days ago near Clevedon. Losers in 3 shitcan modded jap cars with 'pineapples' for suspension, doing gay drifting into oncoming traffic to the extent that other cars and me on the bike had to pull to the side of the road so we didnt get hit. Smoke and shit and gangsta rap vomit all over the scene. Twats.

I'm guessing nobody bothered to jot down the plates & call the cops?

Yep you guessed right bud. Main priority getting out of the way.
I've pulled over at a a parked patrol car once to let him know of a nuts burnout going on a couple of blocks down and he looked at me like 'so what'. So I carried on.

They all made the decision to get into the car, and they were old enough to take responsibility for themselves.


The child who was mowed down did not have any say in his fate or the events leading up to it, and should have been safe walking up the footpath with his mum.

I agree totally.

Every time we walk down Linwood Ave, dosn't matter what time day or night there are constantly idots coming screeching around the corners, some not stopping. leaving skid marks as they take off, thumping drain pipes on there cars. As extrermely sad as this tradedy is I am suprised it has not happened before now. I have no sympathy for the driver, (yes that does sound harsh, but that is how i feel) this could have been avoided by driving to the road conditions and just been more respectful of the road. When i rode past this morning on my way home form work and later in the evening after on friday night all i could think about was the little boy out for a walk with his brother and mum. My heart goes out to this family.

Have you any statistics as to how many accidents HAVE happened there? Is it an accident black spot?

[scumdog]

So you KNOW 100% that you are never ever going to kill a child?

Good odds you won't I admit but I also bet that the guy who crashed and killed the kid never thought he would do just that....

but only God knows for sure what's around the corner...

You can guarantee that when the clouds open up, every fuckwit in his rwd Nissan or Toyota turns into a pro drifter.
