Manslaughter charge for boy driver

There’s too many people on this planet anyway, so we need a few car accidents to cull the population back every so often. And I agree with the comments about removing those memorials alongside roads: they annoy the crap out of me. Maybe the Comrade can build a memorial to road accident victims so people can write their crappy poetry and leave teddy bears, etc???

I dont have a happy happy world bubble. I’m just saying that people can PREVENT THEMSEVLES from speeding and driving Commodores. Ok? Not the govt, not community campaigns, the people themselves.

LG – I think you will find that despite decades of social engineering and draconian civil liberty infringing campaigns, road deaths still occur.

hence 100% preventable is simply not true.

maybe your happy happy world bubble needs pricking.

“road deaths are not 100% preventable. unless you defy the laws of physics combined with human stupidity and or carelessness.”

Bonfire: That’s what I’m talking about: Human stupidity and carelessness. Preventable. Now shut up and stop shitting me.

pardon ?

and maelinar – I think you mean you would respect it bettera if it was written in england….youse

They certainly do serve as a reminder… especially to all those fuck arses on the road

road deaths are not 100% preventable. unless you defy the laws of physics combined with human stupidity and or carelessness.

people die all the time in all sorts of places. we have a place for markers, they are called cemeteries.

anyway, im glad the person has been charged. although being a juvenile and in canberra, expect a slap on the wrist.

if i was a criminal mastermind, id make my HQ in the ACT.

Maybe we should remove street signs as well… and they are designed deliberately to distract the eye.

Females should not be allowed within fifty metres of the road if wearing revealing clothes. This too is distracting.

I would B happier if somebody could B kind and spell check the B@#$ sign before it is graciously removed by Urban Services. B4 they put up the signs perhaps they could B kind enough to attend school to learn that B is actually spelt be. I know I would certainly respect the sign more if it was written in english.

Then again IMHO all signs not relating to the usage of roads should be removed, as they distract drivers, crosses included.

Alot of deaths are 100% preventable, thats why they are called accidents. Not all of them are road deaths or need crosses but at the location.

Because road deaths are 100% preventable.

I am with Bonfire on this one. Sure they may serve a purpose as reminders but I think they are an eyesore. People die all over the place all the time and don’t get crosses attached to their houses, hospital beds, building sites or where ever the unfortunate event happened. I don’t see road deaths should be any different.

I also disagree. Sometimes seeing a cross on the road can either:

1. Remind you that life is fragile and slow down and drive more carefully

2. Remind you that life is fragile and that you should make the most of the loved ones you have in your life.

I Disagree 100% Bonfire – what harm are they doing??

as harsh as it may seem, i think urban services should remove things like this. and all those damn crosses that litter the highways.

Sorry, I’m thick today, but wasn’t the boy alleged to be 14 at one stage? Has he had a birthday? Should he be allowed to have another?

Urban services manage to remove superglued posters off poles in civic within a 24 period. I’m sure flowers attached with sticky tape proved no problems for them.
