Driver who hit and killed cyclist on A31 near Farnham while texting
jailed for nine years
Why he wasn't banned before beggars belief.
Good, he deserves to be locked up.
However, I see cyclist riding both on the footpath and the road
texting all the
time.
If a texting cyclist was to hit and kill a pedestrian, would he get
9 years in jail?
Or, do we both know the answer to that one?
We may be a long time waiting for the answer to that one being
confirmed. What is more likely to happen first out of a) and b) I
wonder:
a) A pedestrian being hit and killed by lightening.
b) A pedestrian being hit and killed by a texting cyclist who already
has six previous convictions for texting while cycling.
Nice wriggle. It did not work.
Now, would you like to try and answer my question sensibly?
It's okay if you can't, I do understand the intellect of a cyclist.
