The sentence is interesting, haven't people who have knocked people of their bikes deliberately got a lighter sentence?
Sentencing in the UK seems to be almost random.
I read about a thug who smashed someone on the head with a hammer getting a short sentence, which was suspended. A day or two later, I read about someone else who had stolen a few hundred pounds worth of goods getting a longer sentence, which was
NOT suspended.
I don't think that sentences for violence should
EVER be suspended.
As for serious motoring offences... I think offenders should get lifetime driving bans. And yes, if they then break those bans - prison sentences which would
NOT be suspended, and would increase for repeated offences.
