      1. i think perhaps laurie meant the legal system & it certainly is judges responsibility who can only use current laws though.i don’t know all the ins & outs of that but i do know the driver who caused the crash had an appalling driving record & was by all accounts a career petty criminal who was given too many chances & now a whole family has been wiped out because of the leniency showed to him in the system. It was all too tragically preventable.

        1. I wouldn’t be so sure you’ve made the correct assumption there. I don’t have any special insight – but I noticed every news article I’ve seen has been very careful to say one car was on the wrong side of the road, but not _which_ one. And then they _separately_ start recounting the other driver’s history.

          Normally they have no qualms about coming out and saying saying who was at fault – but not this time? Hmmm…

        2. I don’t wanna kick anything off here, but is it the fault of the process – which has been followed and implemented [afaik] – that a disqualified driver did not adhere to parameters within the law established for him?

  1. Rest In Peace. A life cut short and a promising career. My condolences to all who knew her and were close. Sadness too for the Home and Away cast and crew on the 30th Anniversary!
