Squashed car owner now also thinks there needs to be more substantial punishment - but what?

How many other car (drivers) would have survived?

Different scenarios… first only related to having a dangerous load, there was no ‘standard of driving’ issue. Second was driving related.

You could sometimes consider load as a dangerous driving offence, too. But the load offences carries a generally much lower penalty.

I don't know if this is the formal wording of the charge/law, but the brick driver was fined for 'using a motor vehicle where the weight, position or distribution of its load involved a danger of injury to any person'. The other driver got 18 months jail for 'six counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving'. It's not the same case.

on 2 wheels, not 4

lots of poor anticipation, poor observation by riders and other road users. but also some real 'hero' riding, like the road is a racetrack, and then it all goes wrong - and very fast

Quite a few of those seemed to be riders looking at where they feared they were going, rather than where they ought to be going. Oh, and, the words one doesn't want to hear when out for a ride "are you all right".

Yep exactly, wildly different charges. Although flagrant bad loading combined with other factors can be considered for an overall DD charge.

Yup. So many lowsides where they've turned in way too early then given up instead of cranking it over and trying to make the turn. At least try, you might hang onto it, the alternative is definitely a crash!

Absolutely. I took a faceplant whilst running the other day, less than 10mph onto tarmac and I have various thoroughly unpleasant scrapes and still can’t use one knee. I can’t begin to imagine how much some of those crashes must smart without proper gear!

Even the East German judge would have awarded high marks for 3:20!


...while 7:20 is just pure serendipity...

I’d have said half of those were riding a bike for the first time.

And the other half for the last...
