Police charge woman stranded for two days after crash

[Wenier]

Come on guys don't be harsh to the cops over this.

1. The babies is traffic so thats a whole separate side of the cops hence they would have the resources to do it.
2. They found no defects with the vehicle so therefore to be consisent they use the lowest charge of careless driving on her as it is her fault. If she had been found to be speeding to go off the road they'd step it up to reckless instead of careless.

Also they were not trapped in the car for the two days, they got out of their seats and on the second day moved down the hill to a stream. Lucky for them some tourists stopped for a photo and they called out to them.

And as for the guy who rode into the old lady and smashed her, i hope someone in the prison he is in deals to him servely. His father even said he was a lost cause and hasnt accepted any help they had tried. he has 18 other convictions and still only got 2 yrs, that really aint good enough.

so if the driver and passenger had been killed, would the police be charging them with reckless drivering posthumously?

[Wenier]

Haha yea, not really anyone to charge if they are dead.

But they just being consistent. They charge the boyracers when crashing so what diff is it when someone else does.

Wonder what they charge the cop that crashed his car and then told everyone that it had been stolen with..........? couldnt be careless if he had forgotten he did it i guess........leaving the scene...na couldnt...wasnt him ....doh.....it was him but he forgot.......... Maybe they will come up with a new one to suit.........Forgetfulness in charge of a motorvehicle.... ...na..it was stolen....doh...no it wasnt.....

The corner was a medium tight and quite open,bush to the outside,grass on the inner for maybe 20 feet then rolling down into more bush.The car had gone down the bank.
Maybe it was wet or something......

Go judicial system.

Wet or something? F#$%ng oath it was wet. I passed by that very spot on the same day about 2 hours before they crashed. See http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...t=34560&page=4 and I can tell you it it was pissing down. The roads were quite slippery, and I had to take extra care with every vehicle I tried to pass.

Careless? Inexperienced in the conditions more likely.

Do they..........I know this is NZ but in the UK they use commonsense.........I mean in UK if you hit someone up the rear you don't get charged like you do here.....

I assume you're talking about vehicles here??

So if you DO run up the rear-end of somebody - whose fault is it??

[The_Dover]

shut up pig (dyna that is, I'm scared of scumdog cos he rides a charley), do they charge everyone who runs off the road with careless driving?

do they fuck. Did that cunt pig that crashed his baconmobile at the targa get a charge? or any of the pigs that have had little accidents in their patrol cars?

arseholes.

[scumdog]

If she was in the car by herself and crashed and was stuck for two days... would she still have got done with careless?

Yes - but not Careless Causing Injury.

Not ALL the time, often if the car runs off the road, there's no injury and it does not cross the centre-line it is treated a bit more leniently.

[The_Dover]

good, I'll let you off then.

Meh, it kinds lessens the seriousness if you don't cross the road 'cos there is less chance of a head-on it you stay on your own side of the road but that's not all that it taken into account.
