Wrong side scum is caged

Quote:
"On Friday Maddiss (30) of Chaplins Close, Coates, was jailed for two years after pleading guilty to causing the death by dangerous driving.

Charles Snelling, prosecuting, told the court the crash happened when it was still dark, and the road was unlit. He said: "The defendant was travelling from the east, and Mr Trickey was travelling in the opposite direction. The car cut across a sharp corner, and collided head on.

"It is accepted the car was on the wrong side of the road, and the cyclist was on the correct position."

Mr Snelling added Mr Trickey was wearing a high visibility vest, a helmet and other appropriate cycling equipment

Damn. So we can't blame the victim.

Oh ****. Not looking good for the driver. Hope he's got a good excuse.

Quote:

it was noted by his work that he was running late at the time

Phew. There we go, let's go easy boys. He was running late for work.

Quote:

Mr Maddiss is a family man, he is the sole bread-winner for his partner and two young children

Oh ****. Can't have them go without their daddy. Besides, it was just a cyclist.

2 years. Out in 12 months.

Pathetic.

It is to be hoped that once Mr Maddiss leaves his hotel in a year or so,
his real punishment will be inflicted.
