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..."


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?


Can't you read? This guy had previous and his use of his car-weapon
was deliberate.

Partac would defend a mass murderer if it scored him a point against
cyclists.

How wrong can you get - I first started reading this newsgroup completely
with an open mind, and with no preconceptions. I am a car driver and also a
cyclist. Admittedly, I don't wear lycra and I have lights on my bike, obey
stop lights, don't ride on the pavement and I also use cycle tracks wherever
they are provided, so I don't suppose I will be getting the Mason seal of
approval.

However, very soon I realised that some of the cyclists in this group are a
particularly obnoxious bunch of small-minded selfish (I have to watch my
language here, I nearly typed the words I was thinking) bigots, who would
prefer to do their socialising getting ****faced alone rather than the
normal way of going out and meeting friends.
It hasn't taken me long to realise I would rather socialise with the likes
of Judith and Dave, etc., who at least seem to have a witty sense of humour
and appear very normal to me.

And as for Doug, For F***'s sake!

Judith and Dave - normal?

Jesus Christ.

One is an obsessive cowardly psychopath and the other a 61 year old
bodge merchant with Tourettes.

If you consider them "normal" then quite frankly there is no hope for
you.

What do you mean "Its amazing that such people are let loose on our roads and pavements."????

How do you suggest the government works out who is likely to do these things? Thought police?

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.

Your question is ridiculous and unanswerable because there is no
comparison. Firstly, the danger presented by a car on a pavement is
vastly greater than that of any bicycle. Secondly, It is impossible
for a deliberately used bicycle to cause such a serious injury.
Thirdly, in the very unlikely event of similar conditions I very much
doubt that the cyclist would have had the same previous convictions
and be drunk as well.

On those rare occasions when motorists are not allowed to get away
with it, they are usually punished in proportion to how dangerous they
are.

In this case the driver had previous and despite being sentenced to 12
years he will be allowed to get back on our roads again eventually.
Such people should always receive a lifetime driving ban and if they
then insist on driving again get successively longer prison sentences
each time they are caught. Any driver who causes harm to others on our
roads, particularly to the vulnerable, should be banned from driving
for life.

No - thanks.
I killfiled them both ages ago and have no wish to read their foul
abuses of me, my wife, my daughters, my home, my birth place, my job,
my holidays, the food I eat, my drinking habits and so on. The last
time I had to read any that hate filled bile was when I showed it all
to the police last August.

What did the police prosecute them for, then?

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.


Lewisham is one of the most pikey, diversity-infested areas in
London...what can you possibly expect?
