I really have such little faith in the judicial system and until a presidence is made, nothing will change. Either me or anyone else cycling can just be snuffed out just like that and our lives will go in vain with no justice served, just so depressing.
It's tragic. Utterly tragic, and I really feel for the poor cyclist's family. I can't begin to understand what they must feel/ be going through.
Derisory sentences for reckless drivers is all too common. I'm no lawyer so I can't decide whether the law needs changing, or whether we need less brain addled judges. Or both. The biggest problem is that this wretched country is just so totally obsessed with the car. Because everyone's so addicted to driving, crimes like this are not dealt with properly because those who apply the law, and the jurors, are of course petrol heads themselves. It'll never change until attitudes change and I can't see that happenning until the bloody petrol they're all hooked on runs out.
