Motorcycle Popo got SMIDSYed tonight

[tigertim20]

Oh well, at least it wasn't a cop car doing a u-turn... those can be fatal.....

a fellow biker gets mowed down and you only care about pisstaking because he was a cop? grow up dude

So those who trot out "i did not see you" as a this reason for not giving way to a motorcyclist will now be required to have an eye test and redo the drivers licence test? yeah right, sorry about your guy but those who use this as a reason for not giving way should not have a licence, they are blind.

that would be a great idea - anyone in any crash who said they didnt see the person should have to do this at their own expense

He's going to, don't worry. Careless Driving Causing Injury, as is entirely appropriate. The crash gets dealt with by the Popo who attended, the victim gets the same rights as everyone else, the offender gets treated the same as anyone else. Fair to say that I'll be making sure that all the i's get dotted and the t's get crossed. I do that with any motorbike crash anyway, coz I give a shit.

Thing is, no matter what happens to the offender, my mans leg is still munted.

Fuck it.

sorry to hear, hope he heals quickly and is back to riding asap

it's a shame that we cant get/don't see the MC popo on the Hutt motorway during peak period,,, I know they have different 'views' on lane splitting.... however, I see so many bloody cagers driving and texting/talking on cell phones it makes the law a mockery... now I wonder how much that'd change f a popo suddenly appeared beside the car with a quiet 'pull over'???

Mr Crash is being followed by Mr Serious Wound, and is shortly to be followed by Mr Skin Grafts.

He's in a cheery mood, but it's gonna be a long road.

Pity is, he's one of the best riders in the Police, and he is very sympathetic to bikers. That sympathy won't be back until a lot later in the year.

Thanks for all the nice comments. We are part of the bike community, it's nice to have the support.

So he failed to read any clues?

Don't try suggesting there weren't any.

Sometimes, just sometimes, even professionally trained riders can get "taken out".

Degloving is very, very nasty, I hope your collegue has an uncomplicated recovery. It is only going to get worse tomorrow.

And unfortunately even professionally trained riders can have lapses in their observational skills.

Not good news mate, hope he heals up soon. Oh did I see you at Subway today on Colombo?

Its called "Being Human". Shame the injured rider is not as perfect as you.

Unfortunately "Being Human" is all too often used as an excuse for not trying to better yourself.

Wow.

[sil3nt]

I wonder if Katman would have the balls to tell us if he ever came off.

[Katman]

Wow.

You can facepalm all you like - doesn't change the fact that "Being Human" is all too often used to excuse mediocrity.

I wonder if Katman would have the balls to tell us if he ever came off.

I wouldnt think so. Hes more righteous than the pope.

But I doubt he rides.

You guys need to keep up with the play.
