My Day in Court...

I spent all morning in court today, as the only police witness for the prosecution of a young ‘boy racer’ whose vicious driving caused this crash which wrote off three vehicles.
There should have been another witness, by he declined to make a witness statement.
(Perhaps he was leant on?)

Net result:
£700 fine, and driving ban for 6 months.
Sentence was not tough enough in my opinion, he could have easily have killed any of us.

His two offences were:
* Dangerous driving
* Leaving the scene of an accident
(basically - he legged it.)

His two excuses were:
* “My brakes failed ten seconds before the crash.”

* “I didn’t leave the scene of the accident.
I stepped behind a bush, and fainted in shock.
I woke up two hours later, got up, and everybody had gone.”

Obviously barefaced lies.
He wasn’t believed of course.
Still - I did my duty to God and the Queen. etc

 

That looks awful, hope everybody was ok? Was it one of your cars that got wrote off? Haha the good ole justice system eh....... I agree the sentence was very weak.

 

@Jcb

Yes, everybody walked away, but very shaken.
The driver of the VW Polo (right of picture) tried to overtake me in a single lane road.
He couldn’t get through, so drive into my side to push me over. I corrected my line and he flew into Peugeot (left of picture) totalling both.
My car came to rest further down the road.
Sentensing is far too lenient over here.

 

Unless you teach your pug how to do a roman salute, of course :^)

 

It doesn’t matter how careful of a driver you are, there’s always some idiot on the road. The sentencing is way to lenient Jazzer, but to be fair the whole country is way too leinant on many things. Happy everybody was ok though.

 

Sorry TTF - I don’t get it?
Perhaps I’m being a bit slow?

 

It's a younger generation thing. Some guy is being legally charged in Britain for teaching a pug how to do the roman salute when he says "sieg heil". It's famous because the case is so stupid.
