Couple fight for 'normal' life after horror motorcycle crash
A Central Otago couple say they're broken, but not beaten after a motorist struck their motorcycle and nearly killed them.
Kaylene and Ivan Taylor, of Cromwell, are still recovering from the life-changing injuries they suffered when Kim Marshall Jury crashed into them on State Highway 2 in Woodville in March.
Jury was sentenced on two counts of careless driving causing injury by the Masterton District Court on Tuesday. Judge Barbara Morris ordered the Carterton man to pay $11,000 in emotional harm reparation and disqualified him from driving for six months. Read more here.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
