Jumping to conclusions anyone...?

Woman driver in 4x4 and one dead police motorcyclist.

It does take some crediting that someone could fail to see two liveried Police motorbike cops.

Interesting, under the circumstances I wonder might this be the first time a dead Motorcyclist will get any justice.
Or am I just being cynical for thinking there will be bias as it was a Police Rider?

If the popo come down hard on the car driver, then will that not set a precedent for the future?

Jumping to conclusions?

She'll be spending a day on a driving awareness course as an alternative to a fixed penalty.

She's gonna get royally fucked over. Kill all the pedbois/commuters/weekend warriors you want but not a Pig.

were travelling at normal patrol speed

So about 2 and 2 thirds the speed limit then

[UncleFester]

Good roads those ... lots of nice fast sweeping bends but also a fair few blind crests etc. If she's found at fault i'd bet they throw the book at her.

What I don't get is with a SMIDSY surely it's either a case of they either looked before manoeuvring/changing direction/changing speed etc. or they didn't right?

So no matter what they say they're fucked or should be, because if they didn't look wouldn't that make it driving without due care/dangerous driving? If they did look then surely it's got to be along the lines of GBH/manslaughter/murder or something?

Basically I don't see how drivers can get away with it at all, but they seem to.

All the advanced rider training in the world can't protect you from women drivers

This is the road but don't know where.
You might suspect the bikes were cracking on a bit, and were at least partly to blame

If ( and it is still an if at this state ) he was on the wrong side of the road ... you have to feel for the woman coming the other way and the Officer who witnessed it.

That looks like Shogun thing and the bonnet looks quite crumpled.

Junction of Daisy Hill Road and Hedon Road - notoriously bad approach from the other side of that. Tony Cook Ltd building in the background.

We don't know what happened.Its easy to blame the woman and the copper isn't going to say his mate was caning it.
I know a biker who got killed by a 4x4 but I'm not jumping to any conclusions with this.
As Daemonoid says everyone makes mistakes.Locking someone up for making one isn't going to change anything.
If she was to blame the guilt and trauma will be enough to make sure she never drives again or goes out and buys a c1

If the police super riders manage to crash, what hope do we mere mortals have?!

Well whatever the rights and wrongs of this, all I can say is I feel sorry for a fellow biker who never made it home. May he rest in peace.
