Lincolnshire driver escapes prison after leaving biker seriously injured then torching his car to hide evidence
Earlier this week, Lincoln Magistrates' Court heard how Kerry Miles Pick, 25, ran a red light in Broadgate, Lincoln, before colliding with the biker. Realising the seriousness of his actions, Pick then fled the scene before deliberately torching his car.
The motorcyclist, whose name has yet to be released by Police, sustained a broken knee, ankle and arm.
In court, Pick pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, no insurance, no MOT test certificate and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
But Magistrates chose not to hand down a custodial sentence as Pick had entered an early guilty plea. Instead he'll get a high level community order.
Wow.
What a deterrent.
What a joke the law is!
And if we get caught speeding on an open road with nobody else in sight, we can end up in jail if the speed is high enough.
The real pity of this sort of crap is that erodes respect fopr the law and its agents.
he shouldn't have been on the road anyway, running a light caused the accident, he left the scene, then attempted to pervert the course of justice. . .and he walks. I would say I don't believe it but i do
Didn't some biker who was racing a car get two years? The car hit somebody and killed someone. The biker was infront and just kept going.
Seems the American plea bargin system is alive and well here.
I thought this kind of crap only happened in the US....
I was hoping that in the UK the courts were more enlightened when dealing with motorist running down motorcyclist...
Sadly, I guess I was wrong...
why does the system always let us down
Agreed.
THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE SENILE DECREPID OLD FUCKERS THAT ISSUE STUPID PUNISHMENTS FOR CRIMES .
YEH SPEEDING = JAIL. KILL SOMEONE WHILE ON YOUR MOBIL, FOR AN MP = SUSPENDED SENTENCE
THIS WANKER THE SAME , SENILE DEMENTURE IS A BIG PART IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE DEPARTMENT .
Vigilante time or what.
