A place to record lenient sentencing for motorvehicle....

Just seen this on Pistonheads (yes, I know, I know)
Crazy
Anyone else seen this on the news today? Caught using helmet cam footage from a cyclist.

https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/crime/ru...

A police officer from that force on twitter said they send footage off to experts to calculate the speed, apparently it was a 40 page report.

Does anyone know exactly how they calculate it? Presumably it’s a very clever piece of computer software?

From Local Paper Tonight: (Express and Star)

Lorry driver who had cocaine in his system locked up for killing Cyclist.

Over cocaine and Cannabis Limits.

Just 3 1/2 years inside. Shocking

Not a fatality fortunately but deliberately drove me off the road https://www.stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/ ... ad-stroud/
CPS accepted a guilty plea for careless driving rather than persue a dangerous driving charge. Yes he got a ban but only due to already having 6 points.

That guy really did deserve the book throwing at him.

@reohn2, do you know the maximum sentence for his offence? (my googling was ... a little confusing ...)

Sentencing the boy, presiding magistrate Penny Wood said: ‘We need to tell you that our initial thinking was to sentence you into custody. It can’t be right to drive your car and knock down two people, innocent pedestrians and kill them. ‘However, there are no charges in relation to the standard of your driving on that day. But we can begin by saying so it can be heard by anyone in the court, that we take this extremely seriously.’

Two pedestrians killed, 24-month supervision order, a £105 fine, and banned from driving for two years.

Both parents high ranking police officers. Anyone else think this stinks?

Judge tells driver who killed girl, 8, that her death could have been avoided if he wasn't driving at 'grossly excessive speed'

Driving at 50 in a 30. Busy roads, pedestrians, sees a pedestrian, instead of braking, beeps horn and swerves. Kills an 8 year old girl. The report suggests that they then told lie after lie to the police about the circumstances before pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving.

Jail for 3 years 4 months, driving ban for 4 years 8 months.

Judge in totally ignoring the tariffs that the law says they must use to protect society shocker, surprised the killer even got charged tbh
And on top of the perverting the course of justice ...
