A BANNED driver who knocked a teenager off her moped and fled, leaving her to be killed by a minibus, has been jailed for six years. So the Guy is banned from driving, because of drink driving, if he works for British Rail, why doesn't he use the Train to go to work, so he must also be lying to his bosses, for them to send him out on a job miles away that needs over night stop. What a lying scum bag

Recently had a case here in British Columbia, where a woman was driving 120kph in a 80kph zone, came to a red light where she moved over to the right hand turning lane, proceeded to blow through the red light, hit a curb, became airborne and then landed on another car, killing 2 young people. www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2013/09/20130918-193959.htmlTook three years to get her into court and the judge just let her off, no time, no record, no probation, nothing!!!!! Judge decided that 40 over wasn't really criminal and that blowing the red light was OK because she didn't "accelerate" through the light and besides, the perp had a bad day at work. Somehow the fact that she blew through a red light at high speed from the turning lane and killed someone got missed by Her Learned Judge. The Crown has requested the decision in writing as they are looking for grounds to appeal the decision. I hope it goes ahead and I do trust the appeal court judges will have their heads screwed on right!

What a lying scum bag This happened just down the road from us. Everyone agrees it is a tragedy. We were talking about it ion the pub on Thursday. What the press don't report is that this 16 year old was doing about 25mph in lane 3 of a 4 lane road, that has a 70 limit on it and is known to be fast and a bit hairy. What in God's name was she doing on a sloped on that road? There is a viable alternative she could have taken Also, she had just left The Ship In in Ringwood where she had been drinking, but The Police didn't follow that one up as the didn't want to drop the pub in it for serving an underage drinker. At 16, I think her parents ought to have taken a bit more responsibility. I cedrtainly did when YB started riding at 17. He was banned from several roads. Don't get me wrong. I am NOT trying to defend the Volvo driver who got his just desserts, but felt it useful to put a few more facts in the air

Thanks for that Nige
1: Yes, what the hell was she doing there, that was just plain stupid. 2: the pub should have been done. IMHO. 3: non of the above excuses the car driver from lying.
All 3 are/were in the wrong, and as a result and young girl is DEAD.
