No helmet contributed to cyclist death
The sheriff said Mrs Fyffe "wasn't to blame in any way for the accident", but
added: "She was not wearing a safety helmet and that in my view contributed to her death." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-fife-22397918 Motorist banned for five years. That seems a proportionate sentence to me. |

That seems a proportionate sentence to me. If it was an actual (jail) sentence, it would be. Removing his driving privilege seems to be a matter of basic risk management, and should not really be regarded as punishment. So what would he have to do to get a life ban? He's done it - repeated unlawful killing. There is nothing he could do which would convince me that he is a fit person to hold a driving licence in the future, having twice demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he isn't. Allowing him to drive again after the first killing was an infringement of his second victims right to life, and was therefore illegal. Yes, but you don't actually sit in that jurisdiction, M'Lud. |

Can you explain how it can possibly be legal to allow a person to drive who has already proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are a threat to life when they do? Something is legal when there is no law against it and/or when the law provides that it be done (either will do). I'm surprised you couldn't work that out, but clearly, you couldn't, which is shocking for such an esteemed member of the legal profession as you make out, M'Lud. It undermines the entire basis of having a licensing system. What *is* the "entire basis of having a licensing system"? Please be clear. Of course, I doubt you can explain it, because you are too stupid to understand things like "unacceptable risk". I am as certain as one can be of anything that the other poster could have provided the same response. |
