I don't know anything about the biker, but what a cool place name.

Arrested, not charged. It's vanishingly unlikely that there will be a prosecution, let alone a conviction or a meaningful sentence. It's not like a person has died.

There's been two further arrests - Seems like they aren't sure who the driver was.

RIP Sad

I find your cynicism chilling. Truthful but also disturbing in it's honesty.

For a long time now I have felt there has been little association between the legal system and justice.

I'm thinking, and this is the cynic in me, there would be a greater chance of prosecution and conviction if the two wheel rider was self powered rather than mechanical (i.e. a cyclist).

Depressingly true. Unfortunately the CPS see's us all as this guy

So when some drunk trash murders a biker with their car I suspect the CPS are looking for a reason not to prosecute.

No one will see any jail time, if they can even prove who the driver was they might get banned for a year if you're lucky and a few hundred quid fine.

God forbid you evade your taxes or call someone a bad name on Twitter, the law will be used heavily against you. Kill someone in a car, meh, it's ok.

I think you'll find that if you're a cyclist you're even less valued as road kill. The sun was in my eyes is it would seem a good excuse, or even the old I couldn't hear the man screaming as he clung to the front of my truck for a hundred yards before finally going under the wheels.
Seriously, that actually happened.

So the tyres are not the responsibility of the driver? Absolute bollocks. The driver shouldn't be on the road at all. That should have been the deciding factor. If when the key was put in the ignition there was no insurance then you are carelessly driving. If you cause a death by not being in proper control then you are being careless. If you cause a death when you shouldn't be on the road your a cunt and should go to jail!!!

Is it wrong that I want to go out and change one of my tyres just in case?

I sometimes go out with odd socks on, can I become a mini crime wave and get away with it?

I don't think I've ever owned a car where any of the tyres actually "match", haven't killed anyone so far in thirty years driving.

CPS = Criminal Protection Service

As far as I was concerned the law has always dictated the the vehicle you are driving is your responsibility and to check everything over before starting a journey. She didn't check the tyres, or she did and ignored them, thus she vetoed her right to use that as an excuse.

It's almost like saying "Oh sorry, I was reading a text when I hit him, it wasn't my fault though, it was the person who sent the text's fault".

The CPS was originally created because the police were flooding the courts with no-hope cases on the off chance of getting a conviction. CPS have now it seems gone totally the opposite end of the spectrum and refuse to prosecute anything where there's the slightest chance of the accused offering a remotely plausible defence.

Shocked Wow, just wow.

Epic karma for anyone who mows Rachel Roberts down and gets away with it for mis-matched tyres.

MY car has mismatched tyres, probably because of the cheap previous owner. At least when the missus bins it into someone she won't get done.

Mine has one called "Triangle" Laughing Odd name for a round tyre I thought. But still, while it may be a ditch-finder tyre, I can drive happily knowing if I mow someone down I have a get out of jail free card.

Perhaps it was because the Police defaulted to charging a more serious offence when they could, racking up the cost of crown court trials instead of magistrate court only misdemeanours? The CPS is target and cost focused.
