What amazes me is the ones that can see go out of their way to make themselves blind. Here's a pic I took from in my car (we were both stationary in peak hour traffic). Is this mofo a vampire or something? If you can't see thats a chinese newspaper thats been tucked intothe window in addition to all those sun shades. Same thing - if this prick can't handle the sun for some medical reason, get the f*ck off the road until he can.

No apologies needed, what you wrote came from the heart . It was an honest interpretation of how you read the story . If anything it was a great support and resembles how I have felt for a long time .
Thanks mate .
I can understand the feelings of people about this tragic accident. The heartfelt loss of his family is clear. But, for better or worse, the integrity of our justice system requires that it make a judgement alone on the facts as they are presented. The judge did that and made his decision - there can never be any winners in such cases. While understandable, the behaviour and comments of the family were very sad to see. No amount of verbal abuse and threats as were made in court today can change what has happened. Those of us who have lost loved ones in road accidents, and there are thousands of us, come to realise sooner or later that peace can only come through understanding and acceptance rather than blame and a hope for punishment. My hope i that the Raphaels reach that point in their lives sooner rather than later.
d i s g r a c e f u l. Truly, and utterly disgraceful.

Hey Rider
My best friend was killed by a similar accident in Orange. A car reversed over him and killed him. except it was on a private road and he DIDNT have a licence and now he is getting off free, no charges. i dont know how people can justify this 'justice' system. I am now enrolled in Undergraduate law to do my best to never allow these people to slip through these ridiculous 'loopholes'.
