2009: Police Commissioner Scipione blasts, "Motorists should get their brains into gear..."!

FF>>

2010: Police Commissioner Scipione is "At Fault" on the wet Belmore Rd at Peakhurst as he collides with another vehicle.

lol. I bet "speed was a factor" like in 99% of other times they trot that rubbish out.

I'd like to see an accident where speed was not a factor....ie 2 stationary cars colliding

hypocrite

Footnote:- ^^^ Spokesman says that Mrs Scipione "was in his car". Now she wouldn't have been in the other car would she?

Footnote:- If it was a police vehicle he was driving, GIO would pay for his 'Excess' - and he would get an immediate replacement car (like Dirty Harry does). Shucks... Now if I was Police Commissioner...

Interesting.....it is described in the article as:

"It is understood Mr Scipione had just pulled up at a stop sign on Belmore Rd and turned right across the path of the couple's car."

Now I may be out of date, but I thought police are called at any accident where there is estimated over $500 damage, or a personal injury. And that in each case at least one of the drivers would be charged with neg driving. This has certainly been the case in 2 accidents where I was charged with Neg Driving (imagine trying to disprove *that* charge in court when it is not defined anywhere on the NSW police or rta websites.

[JAS-25T]

Police are called whenever someone is injured (taken to hospital) or a car is towed.

"Drive away" accidents are not attended.

then usually a neg driving charge is given at the very least as they "must find someone at fault" if called to an accident, for insurance purposes. Their way of finding someone at fault is by blame/neg driving charge

I think they say in the article that he is getting a traffic ticket, which would suggest a neg driving ticket/charge?, but then this............

It is understood the incident is not likely to be considered serious enough for charges and penalty is likely to be a traffic ticket.

Karma is a bitch?

So... speed wasn't a factor. Alcohol wasn't a factor. And fatigue wasn't a factor.

Is he an idiot or a shit driver?

[RB25PWR]

He's only human, just an accident. Lapse of judgement... at least he takes it like a man and says he's responsible just like anyone else who has an accident and is at fault. This will be old in a bout 72 hrs.

As far as I understand, if the police attend a charge "must" be laid...

And he put two people in hospital! He should definitely get a neg driving!

Yep! DONE!

He's just lost 3 pts for not giving way at a 'Give Way' sign. Also he's been fined $253.

He's admitted that he was at fault. But ironically, his insurance company is not happy with him doing that!

Interestingly, this is not the first time he's been an 'At Fault' driver in an accident. He said to the journalist,

"What I don't really want to do, is go back into my driving record." Hmmm...

[NZM.031]

hes a cock.

[MBS206]

It's time to either get the Chasers on to him, or Hamish and Andy... We need some public outcry!

[Marsss]

hes a cock.

Nuff sed.
