School tragedy boy's family forgive driver on day of funeral

Not a cheap shot at all Mate, If I did something as stupid as this I would expect to wear the consequences of my actions.
WTF is "time you looked in the mirror" supposed to mean?
It is So easy to be magnanimous about something that doesn't directly affect me or you But lets face reality this woman did a reckless act and should be held accountable for that action it's as simple as that.
Taking personal digs at me is childish and I find it to be offensive simply because I have a different opinion about this incident than you do.

Please keep it civil fellas. As you all know personal attacks will not be tolerated. The whole thing is very sad and not a nice subject to be making assumptions on.

Besides all that by going to jail it should enforce a lot more care and attention from this driver when she next gets behind the wheel.

can keep her off the road by taking away her licence.


if i was the magistrate, loss of licence for 10 years and 5 years jail suspended sentence.

t this point in time, no one knows how this actually happened. The point I make is key board warriors should hold off being judge jury and executioner , and leave that to the professionals. We live under the rule of law, not rule of the keyboard. Have some thought for how this poor woman must feel. It is not as though she did it on purpose. As for look in the mirror, you were set to hang this women, while the family of one boy were set to forgive. And why? their religion. The much maligned Muslim religion , that mainstream Australia vilifies, teaches them to forgive. I'm sure the woman will be treated equally as any other under the law of the Nation. But no punishment man can dish out, will equal the horror this poor women must feel. All I ask is, hold off on your keyboard kangaroo courts, until the facts are known. Not having a go at you, BTW, just the internet warriors who jump all over incidents like this, before the facts are known.

Father of boy killed in Sydney school smash forgives driver

I imagine that this woman IS feeling pretty awful at the moment But unless there has been some sort of catastrophic mechanical failure/incident then this woman IS responsible for her actions and should be dealt with accordingly.
When driving around Any school Extreme caution Must be used at all times and it appears that this wasn't the case in this instance and for someone with 19 grandkids that are at school or will be going there shortly I find this to be inexcusable and thoughtless.
BTW I personally do Not hold Any religious beliefs and yet I forgave the idiot woman that drove on the wrong side of the road that caused the death of a good Mate and put me in hospital with a ruined arm/hand So religion has Nothing to do with forgiveness as far as I am concerned.
In this instance the woman Did spend some time incarcerated But at the end of the day she was deported and will never be able to make the same mistake again in Australia.

With respect to floor mats etc, I've found that driving in thongs has caused an issue with me from time to time,..catching on the mats, slipping around on my foot etc, so I don't drive in thongs any more.

I have never worn thongs as I think that they would be rather uncomfortable and creep up my bum

I'd like to add my 2c,I have been dropping my kids off at school for a while now,I have to drive past their school to get to uni,all I will say is I'm not supprised this happened.The level of driving skill I see is appalling,dumb bimbo's in active wear talking to each other through open windows,racing at speed through car parks to catch up to some other active wear wearing bimbo to talk about pointless ****,not being able to simply drive in and out of the car park without jumping gutters/gardens/each other,having no situational awareness at any point of the drop off and my personal favourate,talking on the phone during the whole process.My son Declan has almost been hit twice while on the crossing by stupid bimbo's in a 10km/hr zone,the second time the stupid bitch gave him a mouth full for almost hitting her car,lucky dad wasn't there,or her car would have been damaged.If we are going to ban people for stupid driving it's going to get busy real quick.
