Wanton and Furious Cycling prosecution

[Globalti]

That at least is an indication that he is of good character.

That at least is an indication that he is of good character.

Or perhaps he felt it was better to jump instead of being pushed....

 

[glenn forger]

He could say the sun was in his eyes?

GBH s18 can mean life imprisonment.

Bizarrely I'm with Linford on this one, does it say somewhere that he did hand himself in, I've not read that, either way he should NOT have left the scene.

One TMN to @snailracer...

Before or after he left the scene and left the girl unconscious in the road with what could have been a fatal injury ?

What is so bizzare about agreeing with my POV on this..anyone with an ounce of decency would have stayed there to face the music.

 

[snailracer]

The only good excuse for leaving the scene I can think of, is that the cyclist hit his head in the collision and wasn't thinking straight.

I wouldn't go that far myself. I'd just say that it indicates he isn't completely without a conscience . It falls a bit short of "good character".

 

[Markymark]

....or that he told someone close/someone else found out and persuaded him to hand himself in.

 

[PK99]

You'd be wrong.

I'll take references as evidence, but not simple assertions.

 

[HLaB]

Hit and Run. Two wheels not four. I don't feel any need to offer excuses.

Although I need excuses for my language, most of my sentences end in 'scum'; (I'll leave the start to you imagination ).

 

[Pale Rider]

He's pleaded guilty to a sect 20 unlawful wounding - no intent.

Maximum sentence six months in magistrates, or five years if dealt with in the crown court which this one is.

One could speculate, so I will - the judge will see it as two years after a trial, so with credit for guilty plea the guy will get 18 months.

GBH s18 can mean life imprisonment.

very few things mean life imprisonment, people may be give that sentence, but the reality is far from what that term suggests.
