Re: The Crash Detectives - a sobering story
The sentence is too lenient, especially when compared to that given to very high speed driving which results in no accident or death. Or compared to the poor soul who passed out and killed someone mentioned earlier in this thread.
Trying to explain/justify/understand it, by saying the biker might have given the finger is ridiculous. Yes, the finger may have annoyed the other driver, but come on, he has some serious responsibility driving a car, and he failed to honour that. Selfish pr!ck.
Our courts and justice system is a joke sometimes, this is just another example of it.
I too avoid confrontation at all costs, it never comes out well for anyone. The roads are not the place to bash your chest.
However, I will flick the finger when needed, making sure I am able to keep clear of any (pathetic) fallout.
