Amazing. You get the same treatment for beeping your car horn as physically attacking somebody in the street.
This disgusting New Labour shower has totally dedstroyed the credibilty of both the police and government.

That's it, keep hitting the motorist... the REAL criminals in society.

What is it with the Mail and the Motorist?

Use this thread to highlight the Mail attitude to Speed Cameras and just about anything else they think about the Motorist.

I fucking hate that: drivers whose first thought when confronted with a potentially dangerous situation is to hit the horn rather than evaluating and choosing an evasive action. Arrogant wankers. Fine them. Then remove their genitals. With a spoon. A rusty one. Then fine them again. Then kill them. Then tax their estate (or saloon, or hatchback, obviously).

The 28-year-old, a former soldier who served in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Northern Ireland, slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting the man and came to a stop.

Most drivers are bastards

No they aren't, my parents were married.

Not a cyclist by any chance??

I think the SAP has got it wrong- it seems to advocate a very lenient policy towards "an offender who had no intention to cause harm but whose actions have resulted in death". I think what they are missing here is not that many of these people deliberately go out to kill- clearly they do not - but that they take deliberate actions which show that they simply don't give a hoot whether they cause an accident or not. Look at the driver who gets behind the wheel intoxicated or the driver who yacks away regularly on his or her mobile while driving- these are not people who have just been unfortunate- and had an accident because of a momentary lapse. They are people who have acted deliberately in an incredibly dangerous manner and should be sentenced accordingly- no leniency for these people please- it is totally crass for the SAP to say that they "had no intention to cause harm".

As someone who has driven almost every type of vehicle over a 45 year period and one speeding offence 8MPH over the limit 40 years ago, I must say that the standard of driving in this country is appalling. No-one has any patience, it's all about getting there in the shortest possible time. Good manners and consideration for your fellow driver is a thing of the past. I am not surprised though because sentencing for bad driving is abominably light, as with other crime there seems to be no consequenses for your actions, no matter how bad.

"•No aggravating factors - Community sentence"
That was the EXACT problem we had with "Causing death by dangerous driving".

Proving "dangerous", prove "aggravated".

How much have this useless shower of a so called "Government" spent, of tax payers money" to repeat a law with all the same mistakes as the origional?
