On the 24th of February jade Clark was killed on the A31 near ferndown, she was on a moped and hit by a Volvo xc90 who fled the scene, today at 3pm is her funeral and the also announced that the 58 year old driver from Kent was arrested this morning and his car seized, my thoughts go out to her family and friends

Glad they finally caught him. Mopeds are such death traps on high speed roads. You're just way too vulnerable.

RIP Jade, such a waste of a young life
hope they string up the disqualified, uninsured, cowardly scum bag that killed her. doesn't care about being disqualified, flees from the scene after killing someone, wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk as well, too late to prove that or otherwise now |

That stretch of road is like a motorway, in fact most people are in motorway mode ready for the M27 ahead. Not the place for inexperienced moped riders. Despite the tragic circumstances, calls into question the training or lack of it

Mopeds are only suitable for town use or similar low speed roads, imo. I don't know what the training is for mopeds on CBTs but aren't you supposed to command your road position (i.e. not ride in the gutter)? Yet every moped I see is always riding in the gutter with cars constantly squeezing through against on coming traffic.
I'm definitely not in the ban them camp, or adjust speed limit camp, or anything like that. I just think part of the instructors responsibility should be the make it really clear if they don't command their road position, they are in real danger. All these kids have it in their head they need to ride in the gutter to stay safe, but that's about as safe as farting in a psychopath's face. They need to ride in the middle of their lane, make cars slow down and overtake them when it's safe to do so. If they can't handle ****ing everyone off (which is what happens!) or don't understand the dangers then they shouldn't be on a moped. You can't sacrifice your safety to keep impatient people happy.

Its a pretty sad story, made worse by the fact the driver thats been arrested is a health and safety officer on the railways yet is banned from driving and has been caught for this 3 times. Due to this he was also uninsured, and is now going to be charged for 7 seperate offences. What a tool

RIP
This legal system in this country is a joke, he had already been done for driving without insurance and while disqualified, he clearly wasn't listening. Lock him up inside for a few months each time. |

Who's laying bets he won't get a custodial sentence?
RIP Jade |
