Should be removed the PRIVILEGE of EVER having a licence again, a timed ban is disgusting IMO.

I feel for poor lad who's been hit, could have even been a pedestrian who doesn't have the benefit of all the bike gear. They'd be dead for certain and once more than IMO makes the sentence a joke, seriously why do people not respect the value of other peoples lives and behave like this.
Im properly sick of this, its displayed far too frequently for my liking...

As others have said, while there are certain trends and sub-cultures, crime isn't race-specific. Everything you can mention that black/asian scumbags have done, white scumbags will have done it too. It's just that if the 'bad' areas near you are mainly populated by one race, (eg Bradford) it can cloud your judgement because people from that race will generally be behind the crime you see and hear about.

Going back to the boy racer issue - is it me or is there at lot less of them about than there used to be? Dunno if fuel and insurance costs have killed off the 'scene' but you don't seem to see as many modified hot hatches about as there were 10/15 years ago.
