He was Texting in the moments leading up to the accident on a motorway in stormy conditions. Are you taking the piss?

 

 

he's strange

 

average of 80 probably means he peaked at over a ton in shitty weather

No I ain’t.

 

I don’t profess to be holier than tho like many on here.

 

Hypocrits.

 

I guess you’ve never made a mistake in your like have you?

I say it every year but it never ceases to amaze me how people can't simply pour a jug of luke warm water on their windscreens to defrost it.

 

You don't need de-icer, you don't need boiling water, you don't need to scrape ice with a cd case.

 

One bastard jug of Luke warm water is all it takes. It really isn't hard.

It just freezes again. Or am I doing it wrong?

Causing death by careless driving has a maximum 3 year sentence whilst death by dangerous driving is 10 years.

 

which will be why he pleaded guilty to careless

 

but as Casino points out (as the article is over a week old), he's been found guilty of dangerous (presumably by a jury)

 

was always going to be a tough argument, I'd say evidence goes out the window and it depends if you've got a Deane Koontz or a Captain Med deciding

 

though letter of the law is it is dangerous driving, but then again technically so is talking to a passenger, lighting a cig or changing the radio

His defence would have offered a guilty plea on Careless hoping that the CPS would not proceed with Dangerous. However the CPS must have thought that they had a strong enough case to proceed with dangerous and both charges were presented to the jury.

aye, looking at what constitutes dangerous and the evidence they had, he was never going to get away with careless - guessing his only defence was that he wasn't reading or sending a text at the exact point it happened

Mpemba effect due to the water being too hot.

 

Or he lives in Siberia as you say :)

 

Never heard of that - every day is a school day.

 

Luke warm water tomorrow. Or piss.

Saw that. You can't argue with it. Should probably give him more as a deterrent to others. Always seemed nice enough lad to me when I knew him years back and he's made a stupid mistake not intentionally set out to kill anyone. Doesn't make him a bad person but it was bloody reckless.

Years back we had a discussion on this

 

Should you be tried for the offence

 

 

Ie driving like a cnut

 

Or driving like a cnut and killing someone

 

 

If I do it tomorrow and don't kill anyone, more by luck than judgement, why should I get a lesser penalty than the fella who kills somebody
