this 32 year old piece of excrement.. who was already banned from the roads for drink driving.. had 10 previous convictions from 2021... rode an Uninsured E-scooter, drove through a red light and collided with a lady Veterinary surgeon who was crossing at a pedestrian crossing. fracturing her skull among other injuries, and just ran off without helping her...was yesterday given an 18 month ban from the roads, and £125 fine...

The Surgeon suffered concussion for 8 weeks, lost work in that time...as well as her fractured skull.. and her ongoing anxiety when crossing roads...

In mitigation his lawyer said he went riding on the scooter ''to clear his head''....

Unbelievable that he should had got such a light sentence///

Video here of the collision...

Horrifying moment e-scooter yob smashes vet's skull then flees scene
 

Well, you could try freely speaking your opinions. I hear that has repercussions.

Not quite like Canada yet, where professionals are censored with threats of losing licenses unless they go through re-education camps. Or they freeze or seize your bank accounts if you're a trucker.

Who knows what's next? Failure to praise "Kraft Dinner" and gravy dumped on top of cheese and French fries? Saying Castro was not a saint?

Beyond bad attitudes and irresponsibility, I'd think he has a mental disorder. Not sure we're still using the term 'criminal insanity' on this side of the Pond, but I believe it would fit.

if he had that would have been put forward in mitigation, it wasn't but the fact that he's flouted 10 previous convictions, and a Ban..and then flew from the scene of a crime, should have at least warranted a life time ban if not prison

This has nothing to do with the OP but at least you found a way to insert your daily hate for Canada and Canadians.
 
Holly, will the sentence be appealed.

He seems well-dressed. If he has any finances, maybe the surgeon can sue for damages.
 

What does it take to be sent to prison in the UK?​


Using offensive behaviour to Royalty would likely end up with the offender getting some kind of caution, but steal the King's ice cream, and the villain would remain chained up in the Tower forever. 😊

unfortunately that's not too far from the truth... call someone a racist name , you'll be banged up for 3 years FACT.. drive uninsured through a red light at a pedestrian crossing, while on a Ban, with 10 previous offences .. fracture someones skull.. and you could can go home and put your feet up... makes me spit!:mad:

Appealed from the victim?.. I sincerely hope so. Sometimes when the public see an injustice they will demand a re-trial..or resentencing..I hope this becomes one of those..
 
In the U.K., could the lady surgeon sue Pedelty for lost wages, etc.? Here, in the U.S., we can sue for medical expenses, but I'm not sure about that with universal health care in the U.K. Anyway, can she sue him?
 
Americans are calling our courts a "revolving door for criminals"....they walk in when they're arrested, walk out in 2 or 3 days.

Two reasons:

Most common criminals (alleged) have no money, but they have a right to a fair legal process, a fair trial, and fair treatment, so judges assign them a "free" defense attorney. In addition to the attorney fees, taxpayers cover all booking fees, court costs, medical attention if the accused needs it, any prescription drugs they're supposed to have, and all their meals and stuff while they sit in jail awaiting their hearings and eventual trial.

1) Every arrested person costs the state thousands of taxpayer dollars every single day, and there are millions of arrests every day. Naturally, the longer they're kept in custody, the more they cost. Petty criminals are bleeding out America's tax revenues.

2) Due to those costs, many states have decriminalized a huge number of certain types of crime.

Theft is one, and that includes car-jackings, home invasions, and retail theft up to $5K (varies from state to state). Some states are lowering bonds on certain crimes, including manslaughter...so people accused of *accidentally* killing someone, or even multiple people (i.e. when they were driving drunk), can get out of jail for as little as $500.

I agree, that dude should have his driving privileges revoked for life.

Most US states revoke a drunk driver's license on the 3rd DUI. But I saw a video of a guy who was in court for his 8th! He'd simply been driving without a license, while on probation. This judge finally put him in jail, but he also gave him a bond....$4,001, if I remember right. He also ordered rehab, for what that's worth. Taxpayers will pay for it.

In theory she could, in Practice it would cost her far too much in court costs , only to discover he has no money to pay... so it rarely happens

Murmurr, are you saying that it's the case with car-jackings (as opposed to car theft) and home invasions (as opposed to burglaries) have been decriminalized?? Is that happening in California? And how widespread do you know this to be, among the states?

From what I understand, Calif, New York, and Oregon have decriminalized those crimes (and others).

IDK what other states have. I'm guessing it's the ones that defunded police a few years ago, or maybe ones where the jails are severely overcrowded.

My brother lives in Colorado. He said that police there don't investigate robbery or assault of an individual unless it was witnessed by a 3rd person; they just file a report. He said sanctuary states are the ones that have decriminalized certain crimes, but I don't know that for sure.

"Car-jacking", as we understand it up here, involves commandeering a vehicle while the legitimate driver is in it. It involves a threat, or at least a threatening manner, and often a deadly weapon. Burglaries are often perpetrated while the resident is away from the premises, while "home invasion" as we understand, it involves uninvited entry by a person or persons while the resident is present and often involves violence or the threat of it. These what you're commenting on? They've been decriminalized in California and other states?

Usually a carjacking is when someone stops a vehicle, yanks the driver out, and steals the car. Sometimes the driver is threatened with a gun, but most carjackers are unarmed and running from police. Armed carjacking is a more serious crime, but state prosecutors and DAs tend to go with a lesser charge so that courts can impose a lower bail and probation.

And yes, I'm talking about those and home invasions.

Fortunately, in Calif, homeowners aren't likely to face charges if they use a firearm against home invaders. In some states, the homeowner is automatically charged and booked, tho' not usually held in custody, and they're rarely convicted but they do have to appear at 2 or 3 hearings.

Those states would actually save tax dollars if they just allowed police to do a brief investigation and file a report...just check the firearm's registration and ask a few questions, like they do here. It's not like a homeowner (or renter) with a family, a job, and no criminal history is a flight-risk.

He looks wealthy, which is probably why he got off with no prison time. He probably had a high priced attorney who knew the judge.

That said, it looked like the woman stepped in front of him without looking. It's kind of hard to tell, though, from the video angle.

When a population gets to choose their leaders, they seldom get the government they need ... but they always get the government they deserve. :rolleyes:

If the population selects candidates based on popularity or charisma rather than on the actual needs of the population, then this can lead to governance that may not effectively address critical issues.

Then the population receives is a reflection of its collective values, priorities, and decisions. If citizens prioritize superficial qualities in leaders or fail to engage in informed voting, they may end up with leaders who do not serve their best interests.

It's only a few weeks before the USA election. I still have no idea what the platforms of either side is. But I am very aware of the propaganda of lies, and misinformation being thrown. :(
 
What does it take to be sent to prison in the U.K.? Participating in a demonstration against the lax immigration politics.
 
@Murrmurr "Every arrested person costs the state thousands of taxpayer dollars every single day, and there are millions of arrests every day."

:ROFLMAO: There aren't millions of arrests every day. Don't be ridiculous. Eat Candy instead :ROFLMAO:
