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.

If a biker had hit someone and driven away, they would get locked up.  This clown broke all the rules almost killed a guy and then concelled the evedence and he gets F**k all.  Let down by the justice system again!

if it were a biker, book thrown at them and then some!, I think they call it "making an example" of us, car drivers though, get away with it, wheres "being made an example of" fooked if i know, not exactly giving the right signal here, whats stopping a 17yr old kid whos just passed his test wouldnt do the same cause daddy couldnt afford the insurance, who knows he'll get away with it. tut tut!!

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

Posted: 17/06/2009 12:50

Agreed.

I presume the speeding jail biker admitted he was speeding...so why didn't he get the same plea bargaining treatment?

Write to your MP's if you feel so strongly about it. Write to your Newspapers too. And the biking press. Complaining about it on here will achieve nothing.
