I think he should be given a large bag of cats eyes and made to go and
replace every one between Junctions 15 and 16 of the M25.

Without closing any lanes, obviously.

Splat.

He got off lightly. Come the revolution, I'd had dished out the standard urc
punishment after having his nether regions done over with sandpaper and a
rusty scalpel, then dunked in bleach.

I'd be far more severe. This bloke almost paralysed the poor woman - who
now lives abroad. Largely due to his awful actions.

Remember also that it was only due to exceptional events that he was caught
at all (following driver chased him / police actually took an interest).
The driver strenuously denied his act.

Seems light treatment to me.

Then I'm biased. Biased because I've encountered similarly callous
driving.

Oh the standard urc treatment is shoot him and then burn the body. Quite
severe ;-)

I'm just as biased. Death & injury when motor vehicle is the effective
weapon of choice is treated far too leniently IMO.

My next door neighbour was mown down by a driver who deliberately used his
vehicle as a weapon. Neighbour had fractured skull and various other
injuries, it was considered likely by the medical staff that he could die.
Nine months later he is recovering well, but still hasn't gone back to work,
and is a shadow of his former self. Two others were also injured quite
severely, broken bones etc.

The court case has just been heard. The driver got 15 months in prison. If
he'd used a gun or a knife, he'd be looking at the same sentence, in years
not months.

Justice? Don't make me laugh. As long as the legal system of this country
allows drivers to avoid the consequences of their actions, the roads will
remain the dangerous places they now are.

Unfortunately not true.
