Thing is without

A witness who was walking with her small children along Petersburgh Road at the time, dialled 999 to contact police, telling the emergency services operator: "The van smashed right into him and drove off. It actually swerved to hit him on purpose."

The incident is unlikely to have gone to court. So WELL DONE to the witness who took the time to report it

Whatever the sentence....

He will have a driving licence at the end of it. Or the opportunity to regain it.

About time driving licences were treated a bit more like firearms licences

He only got charged with dangerous driving should have been assult with a deadly weapon.


Wouldn't that be attempted murder?

+1 with a witness saying this, they should have charged him with attempted murder. If he used a knife he would be, so why not because he use a car?

People change and so do their attitudes towards fellow road users. I hope the time the driver spends in prison he can reflect on his actions and understand that they are wrong.

doubtful in this unfortunately. Someone who reacted in the heat of the moment maybe but, but with his record and his obvious hate towards authority, prison will probably only make him worse.

as said, they should bring back corporal punishment. no one likes pain and a few public lashings would soon clear the prisons!
