Biker gaoled/jailed

I used to travel this bit of road most weekends and even in my Manta many years ago it was a quick bit of raod, 166 is pretty quick though. If it's the exact bit I'm thinking of it's almost 2 miles & virtually straight.

Myself and my three sons all ride bikes and cars, jail is not the answer, yes ban him from the road for ten years but jail will not only punish him but also his family as well.

exactly he got caught and the rest of his family get punished, we all speed sometimes excessively, but the punishamnet has to fit the crime, punish the driver only without costing the tax payer a fortune

Why is it you all all joke when a biker gets caught over a 100mph yet condemn car drivers over 100mph.

Not only was this loon doing 2.5 times the roads limit. over twice the motorway limit.

You really do amaze me at times, plus there is the blatent piss taking of the head on speed traps you get away with.

Before you have a go at me, consider the same situation if a guy in a Veyron got caught.  yes you would all be taking the piss he had been caught but adding that it served him right.

Speeding is considered much more anti social than burglary/kicking someones head in/criminal damage and most other "crimes" you care to mention ,these days.A combination of the green lobby and the PC lobby,personally I would glue the lot of them to the roads and run over the tinkers. :D ;D ;D

I dont differentiate between bikers and drivers on this issue Skruntie.I use my judgment for what speed I consider appropriate in a car or on a bike,sometimes thar will be under the posted limit,and sometimes more than. ;)
Having said that,when someone on a bike has a high speed crash they are more likely to kill themselves and less likely to kill others than a car driver in the same situation. :y

Did he kill anyone?...........no
Did he do any damage?......no
Did he mug an old lady?...no.
Did he break into a house ?.no
Did he cause GBH?.......no
Did he murder anyone?....no

A speeding fine and a few points on his licence.....would have   been more appropriate.........
You can burgle a house .....over and over....again and still not get a custodial sentence......Crazy. :-/ :-/ ;)

See, now we have him being defended.

Justifying it by comparison wasnt my point either.

Everything mentioned was/is breaking the law.

If he had perhaps kept his speed down to 159 while "familiarising" himself with the bike he might have got away with it!  ::)  ::)  ::)

But what he did isnt a criminal offence,but is treated a lot more harshly than many criminal offences are. ;)

Speeding in itself is not dangerous, but that's what he admitted & got convicted of.

Doesn't matter what didn't happen...at 166 on a public road, the potential for death is staring you in the face.

In fact, at 166mph, a bike will cut straight through a car and remove anybody from the gene pool who happens to be in the way.
