Scum driver caged after cowardly attack

QUOTE:
"A tailgating lorry driver who pushed over an elderly cyclist breaking his leg has been jailed for one year.

Richard Payne pushed the 74-year-old man off his bike in Station Road, March in June this year after accusing him of making an offensive gesture at him as the cyclist let the lorry past.

Judge Sean Enright told him 'every road user is entitled to use the road way - it is not confined to those with an engine. Horse and bike riders have equal entitlement,' adding he would have liked to jail him for longer than the one year sentence he imposed."

Why didn't he then? GBH has a maximum penalty of life imprisionment.

Because 'everyone drives', innit?

I think one year was a good result - better than the usual fine/suspended sentence.
