Unbelievably strict on those who volunteer the information? Anyone else is free to play by their own rules.

True.

If he had declared his illness and then passed ok to drive we would be sitting here say "why did the DVLA allow him in a lorry?"

Obviously. And then people would be wrongly calling the DVLA murderers instead.

Radio 4's PM intro said the man that decided not to prosecute the driver will be on.

article said:

BIN lorry crash driver Harry Clarke has been arrested over claims he drove his car last month despite being banned from the road, it was reported.

Clarke, 58, is accused of getting behind the wheel of a car after losing both his car and HGV licences.

A fatal accident inquiry into the Glasgow tragedy in June heard claims he collapsed and lost control of his bin lorry after lying about previous blackouts at the wheel.

The inquiry was also told Clarke’s driving licences had been withdrawn by the DVLA after the tragedy because of information they had since received about his medical history.

It is said that Clarke was arrested after he was spotted behind the wheel two weeks ago – despite DVLA officials withdrawing his car licence for 12 months and banning him from driving HGVs for 10 years.

Clarke, from Baillieston, Glasgow, allegedly got behind the wheel of a car on Sunday, September 20.

It is thought that police were alerted by a member of the public.

And complete lack of remorse for his victims. Kunt doesn't get nowhere near enough to what he is.

[bitchstewie]

I did post earlier on the thread that it's the kind of thing where I could see a lot of people doing what he did.

On this report yeah, what an ahole.

[croyde]

I had sympathy for the guy until it was revealed that he failed to disclose a medical condition and now I think he is an arrogant kunt who couldn't give a shiot!

+1 horrible bd.

[Fonz]

I’m getting the impression (with not having the time to read all the info on this thread) that there where doctors who knew about his condition and should have told him to report it to the DVLA or better still done it themselves. IMHO the authorities are too lax in running the licencing system.

That as well. What's worrying, I bet he isnt the only driving when he shouldn't.

[s3fella]

The is guy will get his.

Six points and maximum £1000 fine doesn't really seem to cut it in this case though.

[p1stonhead]

The audacity of this guy beggars belief. Insane.

[greygoose]

He just seems to be a vile, self centred individual who should never have been let off charges for the accident.

WTF.... no other ways to describe this.
