"They were driving at excessive speed - up to 90 or 100 miles an hour" Shocked

1 Biker died, the other fatality was the other "racer".

Without knowing the full story, it seems like the guy in the other car did the killing, but died himself so the only person left to "pay" was this guy.

I wouldn't want to start judging anyone for "using the road as a race track".

Tragic accident in my opinon, granted one that could have been avoided if the two lads hadn't driven like cocks, but hey I've ridden and driven like a cock plenty of times. There for the grace of God go I.

RIP.

Whilst we are all more vulnerable on a bike I can't help thinking that some incidents like this would've killed who ever was involved.

I think if the driver of the second car, Philip Bath, had survived he would've been facing a much longer jail term than Luke Jones. After all he was the one who lost control and spun into the oncoming traffic, even if they were both driving like lunatics.

Oops, mis-read the article, will change the title. There's this though, I guess:

Quote:
Another motorcyclist was treated at hospital for two and a half months following the crash and will never be well enough to ride a bike again.

Was`nt like it was the first time he had , has issues regarding his driving.
He was/is old enough to get a driving license and knows the roads are not his personal race track.
He couldn't control himself and his stupidity.

I hope he gets bum-raped and mutilated (daily) while he is in prison.


We all sometimes do silliness on the roads , but at what level?
Taking an MOT failure car on the road and racing other cars?, not me!
Fleeing the scene of a horrible accident that I have just caused? , not me! and then he went drinking Shocked Evil or Very Mad

I`ve gone fast on the road, 70mph Wink but not against others and that is my choice.
he chose to act like a complete c*nt and other people died for it.
I hope he gets bum-raped and mutilated every day whilst he is in prison.

Rant over now , I`ll get off my soapbox Thumbs Up

Two cars racing, one hit other traffic and the driver died.

Other traffic - two motorbikes. One killed, other seriously injured.

Quote:
Jones had previously been disqualified twice from driving for not having insurance.




I'd be interested to know how many years the other driver would get if he lived. I dont think 5 is enough, considering it will only be half in reality.
