Blimey, that is unbelievable.
Could have easily resulted in the death of the cyclist.

This is truly horrific:

17 months for attempted murder is far too lenient. Look how the cyclist goes down like a sack of spuds.
17 months for attempted murder would be lenient, but as he was not sentenced for attempted murder, your comment is not relevant to the story. People are only sentenced for the offences they are convicted of

He was sentenced for dangerous driving and GBH. I personally feel any use of a vehicle as a weapon should attract a steeper sentence

I think 17 months is a disgustingly low term for such a horrific attack. It is however sadly ironic that killer drivers get lesser terms.

Good grief. Absolutely terrifying. It's not just a case of driving like a careless/negligent/thoughtless/"sorry, didn't see you, mate" numpty. It's deliberate use of several tons of bus as a weapon. Moment of madness? What's that all about? I'm sure that if I had "a moment of madness" with a knife and attacked someone, I'd get more than 17 months.
