Driver who killed child outside school was doing three-point turn: police

[Momus]

Pussy pass is already being waved furiously.

25 year old male does this; culpable driving charge.

46 year old mother of two: tragic accident.

I've never really understood that. I just take my foot off the brake and the car rolls, why to people feel the need to use throttle in reverse?

Have you seen how the average middle age woman drives a SUV?
There is no mechanical sympathy, its slapped into drive straight from reverse and given the beans before it has even come to a rest.
Middle age yuppies are not a whole lot better.

If I did that in an rx7, or even the BT50, I would already be in lockup. These useless cunts give you a filthy if you give it a bit across an intersection where there are no persons or property within reach of even the most useless spin-out clown, but drive dodgem style everywhere themselves where they do pose a risk, even before texting or doing their makeup. Followed a bitch whose center rear view mirror was pointing directly back at her (ie I could see the inside of the driver's door/window looking at it from behind) the other day too


Need serious licencing reform, and/or state governments to realise that they could raise a lot more revenue by booking people for actual dangerous driving and being shit cunts on motorways without going for speed.

Not only would you be in lockup already having been assumed guilty of murder there would be a "public outrage" which would soon be followed by a "crackdown with new laws"... But a middle age woman with kids - horrible accident

Wonder if she gets charged with vehicular manslaughter or whatever it is these days
Waiting for someone to blame Mazda saying it 'just took off'

The council had to put no parking signs up one side of my street, I've got a high school at the end of the street and the students would park on both sides of the street some times so far off the bloody kerb the road was effectively blocked. Shit hit the fan when the old fella across the road had a stroke and the Ambulance had to force it's way past the cars. Apparently a few cars wound up damaged after that, mirrors knocked off etc.

The old man is a para Down here, has a few stories to share. Apparently the Mercedes goes alright on the freeway.

The ACT ambos used to complain when the 180km/h speed limiter was still active, they are usually set at 160km/h! We, stupidly, tested one by passing it with another Sprinter. Found the speedlimiter was infact disabled, the speedo was stuffed.
Btw, near on 4 tonne vans stop surprisingly well from those speeds!

Lemme guess. Riding Rd?

That's the one. Top of Hawthorne rd is also deadly.

It's a nightmare in the mornings. Gotta get the rangey from school, to coco bliss for an acai bowl and then on to Goodlife morningside to make yoga by 9.45

When I used to walk my daughter to school, then cycle to work, the most dangerous part of the trip was around the school, riding a pushie on 60/80kph was much more predictable.
Mums all* drive urban assault vehicles - at one stage the standard uniform of the stay at home mother mafia was RM Williams boots and jeans, a Ford Territory and a dark brown dye job with blonde streaks (to pretend there was no grey and it was the natural brown underneath).
I did the school run in the S1 RX7 one day and I could see the chassis rails of the Hilux dual cab fourbie parked next to me in the playground come parking area. When I started the car and it lumped at idle the place froze and everyone stared at me like I was some unworthy interloper.

all* = the random sample of cars I remember having to weave between as they insisted on parking on every piece of footpath and pedestrian area as close to the school as possible.

I've been in a few at 140/150, facing backwards with an unstable patient and a drawer of drugs and sharp objects. Never again!

Sounds like she went to reverse out of the driveway and accidentally still had it in drive when she hit the gas thinking it was in reverse. That.s all I can make of it anyway. Very sad.

Bingo

A police source said investigators would look at the possibility she hit the accelerator as she attempted to reverse out, causing her to veer off the driveway and into a fence and the group of children.

Hoon. Crush her and put the car in jail...

[Bob Vegana.]

I hope she does some jail time to serve as a reminder to other school run warriors that they're not as invincible as they think they are.

People just need to chill the fuck out, and slow down in areas heavily populated by pedestrians. Shopping centre carparks are no different.

Would that be a permanent police records and never wipe away after 3 years when the points usually gets given back?
