SHIT.

That is unbeleviable - god damn only 2months for wrecking someones life. Typical, shows our law system isnt the only one thats screwed.

Hope he gets to ride bikes again, the poor bloke.

2 months is more than the nothing the drunken, drug dealing, stolen car driving, scum sucking SOB, who removed by brother-in-law's right arm and right leg got. At least they're starting to jail them.

Unbelievable what absolute pricks some people can be.... and I don't mean the driver either ( he's just a f..ken' c..t! )

He gets fined 300 pounds compensation. I'm sure that guys foot was worth a hell of a lot more to him than that.

Fuckin prick..... you know wich one I'm talkin about.

**bear** · 8th March 2005, 12:46

That is a severly light punishment, after showing no regard for safety of others, and permanently disfiguring someone else, he gets a few months jail and and 300 pound fine - ridiculous!!!

You people are just realising that the legal system is shite, here and overseas. Nothing has changed....

**MSTRS:Me** · 8th March 2005, 16:25

And the driver was a Law student.....no wonder the system is in this state.

**SPman** · 8th March 2005, 16:32

And the driver was a Law student

and...he was driving a....VOLVO!

Well, at least it's very improbable that he will ever be admitted to the bar , with the record he now has

With the current state of the legal system, nothing would surprise me.

Wow, I didn't realise he was going to be banned from drinking in public as well :spudwhat:

Hmmm, no doubt he will invoke the human rights act saying that having paid his (£300) debt to society he has a right to pursue his choice of career in law

BTW just been and looked around my VOLVO. I'm still trying to figure out how he managed to trap the poor guys foot in the bumper

What a sad sad world!

Gutted,

a few "freinds" should pay him a visit with short rope and a long tree..might help sort out his attitude to other people.

**Yokai** · 10th March 2005, 07:33

Man - my sympathies to the biker and family.

But, knee-jerk reactions aside:

1 - The guy won't be admitted to the bar, nor will he be admitted to the High Court of England and Wales (what has to happen to be able to practice as a solicitor) - career over.

2 - 300pounds doesn't seem much, but there is actually a *book* defining what the limits are (max and minima) for various maimings. IIRC you only get 12k for losing an eye, and max 30K for losing both... While it might be low, it (along with the Wolfe reforms) gets rid of the stupid situation that you have in the US where you can sue for extortionate amounts.

But, having said all that - what an utter c***.

edit: What do "freinds" look like - are they big and tall and scary with teeth like tent pegs?
