Yeah a bit harsh I thought, considering D.I.C would fetch similar.

Ummmm... yes - maybe. But the difference was that this was a PLANNED event. Carver had done plenty of practice and knew when and where the event was going to happen. He knowingly put other people at risk.

Actually, they told people he was about to ride over the bridge and that it was up to them if they wanted to walk/drive over. Or were you there and therefore know more than me?

In some respects what Carver did was no more dangerous than riding down the road. I know of a number of places where if I came off my bike it would be falling off a ledge onto people unexpectedly, and most likely at more than the 15-20kmh Carver did on his trials bike while riding over the hoops.

Sometimes you need to step back, remove your emotion from the subject, and take all the facts into account.

.

When we talk of vacating a plea in this case a not gulity plea in means that we abandon that plea and replace it with a gulity plea and that is exactly what was done

get another Lawyer to do your limited licence application!

Caver will have no difficulity getting a limited licence for work trucks and his own private car to drive to and from his work

I am having difficulty understanding your post, due to the complete lack of punctuation. Said lack means that the statement can have several meanings, something a lawyer should have well in control and be able to use to his advantage.

You're making this very easy.

Close up -on just now reckons that that they have had loads of feedback since last night!
One person says that a tiger moth biplane flew under the bridge in 1931 and in 1950 a dude on a BSA rode over the arches.
a traffic cop in the 60s tried it and lost his bike in the river... that shows their ability compared to Carver
Try finding photos of their supposed achievement

In my opinion CARVER is the winner of them all by a country mile!!!

The establishment have not won simply because Jonothon paid a Fine . Carver is folk history - there is no denying that. you try naming the pilot , the rider or the traffic cop.

You're not too bright huh Drew - contra to what you are trying to say, the opposite is probably more likely; it takes a bit more IQ to wade thru the common mans vernacular, not all of us require perfect diction, or a grammatically correct post before we understand them, we kind of get it and are bright enough to work with the local vernacular
