Replace "BMW" with any other car make and see if it would work as a headline.

[jjs 60]

Yeah, spotted that earlier today.

"Alleged Toyota road rage attack leaves van driver critical" doesn't quite have the same ring to it...

Lada..nope

SsangYong..nope

Daihatsu..nope

Is the nz herald the only online news site in nz that doesn't allow story commentary?

No wonder I stop buying their print version years ago.

[my_e36 43]

I only read them if they are given away.

(Quite often in central Auckland CBD actually)

[Driftit 1953]

Haha I saw that on Stuff.co.nz this morn. And it said nothing about any BMW.

Better watch your tempers guys. According to the Herald BMW drivers have a short fuse.

BMW Driver.. BMW Driver.. BMW DRIVER!

So pretty much owning a BMW made him a psycho and attack the driver of a van..

Good one NZ Herald..

Good one NZ Herald..

Do you not turn psycho and attack van drivers with your BMW engraved ninja stars and your matching driving gloves, every time you tailgate them while they sit in the "fast" lane on the motorway doing a mere 104km/h slowing your journey down and then you crash into the back of them. GAH I want to punch every van driver in the face because vans are evil road scum who need to be sucked up by giant street sweepers, oh and its also because I am an aggressive psychotic BMW driver. ROAAAR

[e30plz 1]

I think we have found the attacker.

[melowpuf 19]

It was Jordy he crashed his car into a van today, They would have mentioned the engraved ninja stars if it was me.

NWA wooooot

I'm tired of the mother f**king jacking

Sweating my gang while I'm chilling in the shacking

Shining the light in my face, and for what

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

:puke:

[bimmer boy 21]

Its stupid how they always mention the car if its a BMW just enforces the stereotype. I actaully drove past this yeaterday morning and was sitting at the lights wondering what was going on. Id be pissed off if it happend to me but I dont think Id leave the person critacally injured...

Psycho is right.

[_BRS_ 199]

Just heard on the news that the victim has just died...

[pjay 8]

Indeed

Well hopefully it was no one from this site!

Especially since the man has now died in hospital.

[bravo 34]

Well that guy's f**ked. And too bloody right - shameful display of aggression.

His charge should be upgraded to murder shortly. Very sad story of all-too-typical aggression shown on the roads by certain members of society.

murder? more like manslaughter

[Mike.Gayner 0]

I doubt it - the mens rea in this case is, in my view, quite obvious - he set out perhaps not to kill, but with wreckless disregard for life and his actions constitute murder.

[Young Thrash Driver 1020]

Maybe he'll claim that he's mentally ill and couldn't help it. Won't help tho, the jury will obviously know all BMW owners are pricks!!!

Campbell Live didnt exactly pursue the BMW point but let it slip into the story
