Yesterday morning a car failed to keep left on State Highway1, pulled into the path of a truck and it's two occupants died.
The truck, out of control, went into a paddock and fell across a railway line.
The truck driver survived without injury.
The police came, noticed the position of the truck, got an at-risk power line and it's pole repaired, stopped trains.
They then took a few photographs and a video, painted a couple of reference points on the road, got the damaged vehicle off the road and got traffic moving again.
Did they fuck!
They closed the road for over 12 hours while they farted around, no doubt trying to find someone to blame.
I counted four separate police cars at the site a couple of hours after the crash - plus several other vehicles.
A completely unnecessary imposition on the thousands of road users using the part of SH1 on a Sunday.
I can only assume that such a situation allows the NZ Police an excuse to not do the job they are grossly overpaid to do.
4 cars is almost certainly at least 8 policemen not chasing burglars, arresting gang members for having unlicensed guns, protecting the public or stopping old ladies and children being assaulted in their own homes.
