Cyclist killed in road rage incident

[Mark_Robson]

What a terrible, stupid waste of a life. It will be interesting to see how long the driver gets.

I've had to temporarily drop my Daily Mail firewall rule to find a link for this (true). The driver got life.

The driver got his just deserts and had no right being on the road.
I do think it is time that cyclists paid road insurance and took a test as they are a menace on the roads at times and seem to think that they are exempt from the rules of the road.

WFT has that last sentence got to do with it !

I do love all the indignant mind-jobs going on about how life doesn't mean life because of 'liberals'. Because of course under more right-wing governments it was any different.

On the scale of sentences that are handed down to motons who kill cyclists this is a tsunami of a sentence. Well done Judge Richard Griffiths-Jones! Cyclists should be relieved that a court has finally seen sense in sentencing a dangerous, selfish and arrogant killer driver to a lengthy term of imprisonment. However, 13 years for killing some one, in such a predatory manner is too lenient. He should have received a minimum of 20-25 years. But at least he has been given a life sentence of which he must serve 13 years before he is eligible for parole. He might not be released after 13 years, but there is a possibility he might if he has behaved himself and shown remorse which he has yet to do. Still a sickening crime. A genuine psychopath.

How can some one be allowed to drive a car for a period of many years who has never had a license, insurance or bought road tax? This system is clearly failing.

And only one depressing comment on the case from the DM readership,

How can people be so insensitive and thick?

RIP Mr Paul Webb. The sentence must be of small comfort to Mr Webb's family and his partner Nadia Wazea. My sympathies and condolences to them.

Let this case be a warning to all motons who inadvertantly or deliberately close pass us or who lose it altogether and try to knock us off or run us down. You will hopefully go to prison for a long time.
