It is with sadness that i report that my son died today commuting to work at the hands of a hoon driver.

he was cut off and had to lay the bike down but slid into the railing and died from his injuries.

he was always a defensive and sensible rider and it saddens me so much that he was taken away from us because some knob cager had to get his cheap thrills.

RIP
Joshua Daddow

you will be sorely missed

My condolences for your loss. I cant imagine what your going through right now.

I too hope they throw the book at the driver...not being aware is no excuse.
From the report on the radio they have a description of the car and I will be looking out for it.

Hopefully that @#%hole gets what he deserves.

Sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through now.

I do wonder whether a decent guard rail, unlike those stupid wire rope motorcyclist killers, would have made a difference..... The numerous campaigns Australia wide seem to do nothing compared to saving a few bucks!

Hang in there mate.

Andy, so sorry to hear of this.
Heard it on the radio this morning at work, as soon as they mentioned a Nissan Skyline, we all knew it was a stupid hoon doing their stupid things on a wet road.

R.I.P. Joshua.

I travel that road every day, I have seen idiots in cars many times pull straight across to the right lane going stupid speeds in the 70 zone. I hope they lock the idiot up and throw away the key.

Our thoughts are with you and your family in this awful time.
