[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7556837.stm][/url] don't see what he done wrong... Other than get caught that is  Erm he was speeding, that's what he done wrong. Ok all done it, but we know it's wrong so don't expect to get away with it. No point arguing the rights and wrong of the law, it'll only wind you up. Just find ways round it  On the flipside there's a clip of a car driver doing 130 and only got 8 months. Now that's wrong, one rule for one, and looking at the video it looked a damn site more dangerous than the bike

Other than get caught that is  I can't see the video on my work computer but from the descirption it says there was a chase... as far as I'm aware trying to speed away from the police is 'wrong'. I know speed is an issue on here that some see no problem in and others do, so I won't go into that one. |

Didnt look that bad - Think he only passed 1 car - who was more spooked by the police car Im guessing?
But Jail? (WRONG. He could lose his job! family etc...)
From what I hear, theyre overcrowded as they are - fines & points would have been sufficient? Hurt him in the pocket.
There are plenty of people worthy of sentences - and I feel circumstances like this should be re-reviewed...

A ban and fines would be, ok so could still lose your job without a license and better than having a jail sentence on your record

| | banning people is complete stupidity, they then drive ride illegally, what should be introduced is re-training, an away course for a week or so, which he must pass or he will stay on until he does... Jail for speeders is pure nuts...its the law going mad... We should also introduce a more sensible speed limit...some roads are safe at almost any speed, some are not... Try doing 70mph on a congested motorway...try doing 70 on an empty one,,,and yes you do get them empty... The government along with the police are unable to stop real hardened criminals so they are using the speeders as a method of increasing the crime stats and for filling up the already overcrowded prisons... Putting a decent generally law abiding speeder in jail and ruining his life does not help society.... Finally dont give me the speeding kills isue that is long gone, shame the police dont believe the stats, shame the police dont believe that cameras cause accidents even though they do...shame we dont have sensible policing and government anymore...but hopefully one day we will... Off soap box now...

| | I think this chap was banned, so no insurance, no tax, no license, refused to stop for police, drove dangerously etc, probably not his first time doing it either so I guess that's what he went inside for. I would bet £10 that the BBC ignored all that and just said he was speeding therefore contributing to mmgw so therefore he is satan incarnate and deserves the suffer 
This is it ? Yep, that's it. What happened to the rest ?
