Pavement motorist jailed for 12 years.
 

Its amazing that such people are let loose on our roads and pavements.
What if a cyclist had happened to get in his way? Presumably he will
be allowed to drive again and put lives at risk following his 10 year
driving ban.

"A drunken motorist who drove his car at a group of his friends
following a row outside a Bristol pub has been jailed for 12 years.

Luke Julius, 25, from Bedminster, mounted a pavement and hit 26-year-
old Beverley Cousins on 11 September 2011.

Bristol Crown Court heard she was so badly injured that she had her
right leg amputated above the knee.

Julius admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent, dangerous
driving and drink-driving at an earlier hearing..."

I thought this reckless pavement motoring thing was all a bit of a
myth until I heard the story of a colleague.

Her daughter had just emerged from her front door in Lewisham when she
was hit by a motorist completely on the pavement. The mother screamed
at the driver who just drove off.

Incidently, the road was completely clear, and the motorist had no
lights on at 5.30.

There was anther one on the news this morning. Bloke mounted the
pavement twice, turns out he'd failed a roadside eyesight test not
long before.

You're always banging on that motorists are getting let off lightly. Could
you please now furnish an example of where a pavement cyclist is imprisoned
for 12 years?

Could you find a comparable case?

"The court heard that Julius has previous convictions for violence.

In 2004 he appeared before the juvenile court for assaulting a police
officer and received an absolute discharge.

In June 2005 Julius faced Bristol Crown Court accused of a knife point
robbery and was sent to a young offenders' institution for 30 months.

The following November he was sentenced to 12 weeks custody by
magistrates in Bristol for assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

And in December 2007 he received a community order after being
convicted of using threatening words or behaviour."

He will be allowed to use his weapon again one day. Should such a
person as him have been considered a fit person to permit to drive? It
is rightly being suggested that older motorists should be better
regulated. Perhaps violent criminals should also be re-assessed by the
same authorities?

It seems that he pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and this was
accepted. He seemed to wish to kill someone, though perhaps not Miss
Cousins. So 12 years may not be that heavy.

Yes I can read, but you obviously cannot. Now I repeat the question: could
you please furnish me details of where a pavement cyclist (using his
bicycle-weapon) receives a sentence of 12 years.

And no, I will not be giving a comparable example: It's not me who is making
any claims - i am merely asking a question, which I suspect will go
unanswered.
