Default A 'bloody idiot' is jailed for 8 years

QUOTE:
Judge Nicholas Heathcote Williams QC, passing sentence, said: 'Your driving was appalling. I consider this at the most serious level of dangerousness.

'You deliberately drove dangerously in a way that caused death. You showed complete disregard to the danger caused to others. More, as a cyclist, the deceased was a vulnerable user of the road.

'Your previous convictions show a history of aggressively promoting your own short term interests and a readiness to endanger others.

'Not only were you driving dangerously, you did so while you were on licence and were driving without a licence and insurance. You failed to report the incident.

'You also used a false name when confronted with police officers and absconded at the first opportunity. Mr Marchesini was in no way responsible for the collision.

'You are a selfish man. The sympathy you claim you feel is shallow. I accept you feel sad, but I suspect you feel sad for yourself as you will be in prison for a very long time.'

Richardson was sentenced to eight years in prison and a further four years on licence, with a possibility for parole at the earliest date of five years and four months. His driving licence will also be revoked.
ENDS

Revoked for the rest of the criminal driver's life, one hopes.

You see with your brain not your eyes. Cyclists' brains can process images in yocto seconds but it can take up to 3 years for a motorist's brain to process the same image. Might explain why they jump so many red lights.

Isn't it about time that is was made illegal to drive without a driving
licence and without insurance?

In fact, what do you call a man who hasn't got a driving licence and
cannot afford insurance (or is too tight to buy it)?

A *cyclist*, of course.

It's all he's qualified for.

So "Richardson" was nothing more than a cyclist (he had the
qualifications for that), illegally pretending to be a "motorist" (ie, a
driver).

"...driving without a licence and insurance...".

In other words, Richardson wasn't a motorist. He had none of the
necessary legal qualifications for that.

All he was qualified for was cycling. He was a cyclist illegally
pretending to be a "motorist".

His "driving licence" cannot be revoked for rather obvious reasons: he
didn't have one (read the report again). And no insurance.

He was only qualified to be a cyclist, not a driver.

Do we know if his revocation will still be in force when he gets let out of jail?

It is technically possible for a non-licence-holder, who of course, is
not a driver but is a cyclist*, to be banned from driving (which means
banned from obtaining a licence and banned from becoming a driver).

It isn't at all possible for a non-existent licence to be revoked.

Get yourself a dictionary.

[* Someone who has not got a driving licence is only qualified to ride a
bicycle (or drive a horse-drawn vehicle).

Your new meds seem to be working too well, get the nurse to slow the drip.

I meant, will not having a licence stop him from driving?
