I do feel moved to respond to your (Itsme) comments since you seem to be “the pot calling the kettle black.” So you know who was at fault in this accident, do you? You are making assumptions that it was the fault of the driver. Were you there? How do you know? Do you know the boy? I presume you live at the Mount and belong to the group of “worst drivers in the north island”as you describe them. Is this statement of yours an ‘evidence-based’ one, or is it simply reflecting an emotional perception? One point you have overlooked is that there is also a traumatised driver involved in this accident regardless of who is to blame. In case you think not, I do have empathy for the family and the boy. By the way, I offer an apology to other bloggers and any others regarding the erroneous information I was given which led to the reference of there being a skateboard involved. However, this in no way changes the comments I made in an earlier posting about my experiences with some skateboarders and drifters intent on running very high risks of serious injury or worse. Read that post again, carefully.
