M1 Lorry crash

[4x4Tyke]

David Wagstaff admitted eight counts causing death by careless driving but cleared of dangerous driving. Given the minibus was stationary with hazards lit, I think he's got off lightly.

... and made no attempt to brake or swerve.

We need a shift from blanket speed cameras to dedicated traffic police.

Won't ever happen.

How would "dedicated traffic police" have prevented this crash?

This didn't happen in isolation.

AIH I removed that post to avoid this kind drift off topic.

I see. You posted a statement on the topic, about how the accident could have been prevented, but then decided that was off-topic?

Got you.

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension or are you deliberately constructing a strawman?

Speed cameras are off topic.

Wagstaff didn't get long enough in my opinion.

I agree, he ran into two stationary vehicles, got off very lightly imho.
