A motorcyclist who was caught doing 122mph on his bike with his 14 year old son on the back was jailed this week for 6 months, 6 months!! What is going on with our justice system? Granted, this bloke was an idiot - more so because he had his son on the back - he was irresponsible. But, being sentenced he was lectured on how he COULD have caused an accident, HAD you of come off...... the POSSIBLE effects......... They are all maybes, I want to know why judges do not have the same frame of mind when it comes to the likes of the Portuguese lorry driver who was jailed for ACTUALLY causing death by dangerous driving, he got 3 years for killing a family of 6 whilst looking at his laptop!! Where is the justice in that!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4640395/Portuguese-lorry-driver-who-killed-family-of-six-jailed-for-just-three-years.html
Then you have the peer who got a measly 12 WEEKS! He was texting on his mobile when he smashed into a stationary car killing the driver. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/25/texting_peer_prison/
The point is, if you are going to hand out such harsh sentences to teach people a lesson, then
surely you should hand them out to those who truely deserve it.
