| As much as I can see both points of view here, the sad facts that the bike rider had been drinking and using a controlled substance together is a convincing enough argument I think.
Didnt they say he also had the spare set of brake pads still in the box 'ready to fit' - so he must of known his brakes were worn at the very least.
I have to say I think the penalty was still harsh - having to live with the fact of killing a girlfriend is unimaginable enough.
I missed the beginning of the prog but thought it was good to see the cops as 'real people' for a change - not just robots following a programme.
Most seemed genuinely focused on saving lives and reducing accidents. I even managed a laugh at my own recent events when the camera cop at the end admitted to having 3 points on his licence.
End of soap box session - honest !!! |
