If you look at the report of the woman's accident her surname(Michelle Leanne Thiele) is the same as one of the streets at the intersection(Thiele Road) which would indicate the family have been in the district for a very long time (mabye one of the origional farming families).
Could this have been taken into consideration by the local police (charges laid)while the other accident was done by unknowns of the area?

I an not standing up for the idiots,both of whom caused this horrific accident (and mabye some encouragement from the passengers) as they should pay for thier stupidity (one has paid the ultimate penalty while the other will bear the scars for the rest of his life).

I feel the woman should be held more accountable for her actions. It appears she did not learn anything from the first accident, far from it, as it seems she did not change her driving habits one bit which could be looked at as a snub at authority(I'll drive anyway I like, stuff em). And then when it happens again plays the loving wife with children!!!
I'm sure the people who were killed in both accidents were loving parents,but unfortunately that does not seem to matter.
What outcry would there be if this was a truck driver or a younger person on "P"'s.Most probably would have been reported as irresponsible and as having total disreguard of authority .

Just think, If it's the road she live's on, she's probably blatantly ignoring that giveway sign several times a day. Only a matter of time 'till she takes someone out again.

I wonder if she still ignores the sign when she has her kids on board? being a loving mother and all...

hmm i think this is a bit far fetched
also i agree with practically everything daymoe said
i know if i did the same thing even ONCE with my p plates in my modded falcon, even as a honest (but idiotic) mistake, id get prosecuted for a different crime, a far harsher sentence, be labelled as a hoon and the media would probably say i was trying to beat someone or drift or something

God help people that can't drive or break the law if I ever become elected Premier or PM. I have zero tolerance with bad drivers as it is let alone reading about the stupid woman who ignored the give way sign TWICE. And killed TWO innocent motorists!

I would build a colosseum and let the general public watch what happens to people that break the law. Think of Wipeout Australia minus the water (sulphuric acid) and soft matts (rusted barbed wire). Then the general populous would understand why laws are in place and what happens when said laws are broken.

What planet do people in the legal system live on?
