It'll stop when we stop riding.
My wishes go out to the rider and his/her family but we know the rules when we start playing the game.

We choose how we ride.

ummm, as others have said, it doesn't stop.

In 10 years time there will be similar posts.

I ride to stay alive, I assume people don't see me. I am still at risk when out on the road.

I choose to partake in using transport that, due to the nature of the road and drivers is dangerous.

ReCon, if you are a rider - stop being surprised, and stop thinking it will stop.

Statistics are reliable.

I am hearing that the rider passed away. I hope this is incorrect
It took the police and ambos 30mins to arrive... disgracefull

RIP

[Teedo]

The cops and ambo's, in my experience, make every effort to get to accidents involving injury as fast as they can. One of the greatest stressors an emergency worker faces is arriving "late" regardless of the reason. You are right, 30min is disgraceful.

Thoughts to all involved.

I hope you have some proof to back these wild accusations up....

[darkfibre]

Looking at the posts in this thread, I hope it is not a fatal accident, and from a personal perspective, it is not someone we know.

But I have issues with blind blaming our emergency services and their response times. I have only known a few of the ambo personnel, and they react as soon as the alarm is given.
The few that I have met, I trust them to do the best they can and have issues when their integrity is questioned.

[Teedo]

Can't stop thinking about this while out meant to be having fun, rIp dude wish I could have helped more, Fuck that red car doing an illegal turn,Fuck him to hell

Ambo's are incredibly professional, wonderful people. Regardless of the situation, regardless of the casualties condition (attitude), these men and women work at a fantastically high level. Pissing with rain, or baked by the road surface, Ambo's have a focus and dedication I admire and I hold their vocation in very high esteem. Not once in 18 years of working closely with them have I ever thought that they had not applied every ounce of their expertise to the treatment of a suffering person. I blame no-one, if the 30min is true it would have nothing to do with the "troops" on the ground.

Likewise those working in the relevant communications centers have a high level of training. They too would be mortified were their effort and diligence questioned.

what you said

Couldn't agree more IMHO. Though my only dealings have been from the injury end.

Also if they are stupidly busy basic triage starts coming into effect.

Either way rip. For the rider I hope it was quick. Thoughts are with the so many people this is going to affect

Teedo: If you saw it happen, you should consider giving your details to the Police and making a statement. If the car was at fault, it may lead to charges for the driver or may allow the rider/his family to make an insurance claim against the driver/ICWA for damages due to driver's injury/death.

[Crim]

ABC News are reporting that Police are questioning the female driver of the car.

[Teedo]

I didn't actually see it happen so I can't be a witness, I'm going by what the taxi driver said, I just heard it happen 10m away and jumped out. I hope there was a witness or 2 though

32yr old male from Beechboro. RIP dude. Car driver totally to blame.
