It's a good job he wasn't eating an apple at the same time!

How can this possibly be just?

*ETA* This is the shoddy excuse for an upholder of the law who released him!

"Lady Justice Hallett said there was "little or nothing" Lord Ahmed could have done to avoid the collision".

I beg to differ.  He could have kept his hands on his steering wheel and his eyes on the road!

"She said he had never been accused of, or admitted, causing death by dangerous driving".

What???  I would have thought the vast majority of people who have been jailed for manslaughter following road accidents had never done it before, so how many times do you have to do it before you are really punished?

He should be thrown back in prison and she should be sacked!

So true, in fact I get quite edgy in the car because I don't have the same all round vision that I do on the bike. I've always said that, at the very least, CBT should be part of your driving test. It's all very well taking a theory test and clicking your bloody mouse when you think you see a hazard but it's not quite the same is it?

The lad who knocked my husband off his bike had just passed his test and was offered a new driver's version of the speed awareness course which he would have had to pay for but no points on his licence. He refused to do it and to have his day in court...then he put in a plea of guilty and received his 'punishment'. Two weeks later he was driving round in a new car!

How can the police drop the bloodyc ase because they 'lost' the paperwork. FFS!
