At long last I went to court last week as a witness to the BMW 4x4 taking out a biker on purpose and then legging it. Danny Mills (4x4 driver) still denied doing this even though there were two witnesses saying otherwise and carried on pleading not guilty all through trial, what a result Jury found him guilty and judge sentanced him to…
18 months in prison. Was not expecting that thought he would get a ban and points - so am very pleased with result.
Biker is just about all OK now, still has a bit of a problem with his knee and this is a year down the line. He said he felt a bit bad about his sentance as he has wife and kids, but I told him that if he got away with it then he could kill the next biker.
He had been stopping the biker from coming past or going back behind him, then swerving towards him and pushing him onto on coming traffic untill he eventually hit him as he had no where to go. Before I saw all this he had been throwing coins and other stuff out of the window at him.
No honestly I don’t think that is enough at all…He’ll be out there in 18 months doing it again to some other biker. Can’t they just take him out completely? I don’t think he deserves to live…at least not in our society!
to keep it in proportion the guy doesn’t deserve the death sentence… he didnt kill the biker, and he’s not a serial killer (yet)… Bikers tend to get all defensive cos they are vunerable, but we dont know, the biker may have seriously aggravated him earlier on, by riding like a c*ck. We dont have all the facts.
Jail is enough by the sounds of the injuries he suffered.
Nowhere near long enough, If I dont like someone and take random pot shots at him with a gun, dont kill him but wound him slightly, I’ll be thrown in jail for attempted murder. When will courts and the law realise that cars as as much a weapon as a gun or knife, and kill more people in this country. Rant over.
