The law has failed again, another sentence which would be a joke if
it was no so serious.

The case also demonstrates that the usual suspects are wrong when
they whine about speed limits. Had the criminal been driving at or
below the speed limit, 40 mph, rather than between 50 and 60 mph,
then it is unlikely that he would have crashed into the cyclist.

As usual the criminal tried to blame the victim. Not only claiming
that the cyclist was on the wrong side of the road but also that the
cyclist did not have lights on his vehicle. Both claims were lies.

On the strength of that report, the sentence is a disgrace. But the
charge also appears wrong.

Do that have the charge of, 'Causing death by dangerous driving', in
Scotland, or do the Scots just have, Driving without due care &
attention, and Reckless Driving?
