Wilco taught to drive

Today's nonsense from the world of driving, sees a 5.5 year old ridgeback crossbreed, named as it would seem after an old WWII call sign, Wilco, well Wilco and out. Wilco decided that waiting for the regular driver was no longer an option, and so sat in the drivers seat,nudges the gear stick into drive and off he goes.

Fortunately, the vehicle only travels 15 metres or so, and is stopped by running into a cafe, if this incident is indicative of the poor driving behaviour of many New Zealanders I dont' know what is.

Consider the evidence, its a 2 ton Ute, it's unoccupied, the dog is not restrained in the vehicle a law breaking event as it is, what happend the the hand brake, why is the engine running? Yet another law breaking event.

I hope the dog gets 100 demerit points and the owner banned for ever, the reality is that, it will be shrugged off, .cos that's the NZ way, suggesting of course that such behaviour is acceptable. It's time NZ police started to wise up to the carnage thats is NZ roads, after all they are the ones that arrive first to an accident scene to view the sickening mayhem and this sort of behaviour needs to be punished so to send the correct messages to all and sundry. What's worse, Wilco probably got his driving skills from watching the owner.

Irresponsibility is irresponsible and drivers need to be held accountable. Here tiddles time for your first driving lesson.
