All,
Prior to my previous post a few weeks ago.
The chap has been given a 3 year sentance.
here is the text from the bbc web site.
TV exec jailed over biker death
Dafydd Evans was said to be a "broken man" after the crash
A TV production company executive who fled the scene of a
crash in which a motorcyclist died has been jailed.
Dafydd Evans was found guilty in January of causing the death by dangerous driving of Darren Beynon, 24, of Five Roads near Llanelli.
He died when his machine hit Evans' Mercedes as it emerged from a junction into his path.
Judge Eleri Rees at Merthyr Crown Court jailed Evans, 41, of Penylan in Cardiff, for three years on Tuesday.
Evans, a director of Llanelli-based TV production company Tinopolis, had been on bail since he was convicted at his trial at Swansea Crown Court in January.
He had denied the charge, insisting that he had not driven dangerously and claimed Mr Beynon, who was in a convoy of bikers out on a run, had been speeding.
Motorcyclist Darren Beynon was killed instantly in the crash
Evans was returning from a christening in Llandeilo with his best friend Henry Jones-Davies, editor of Cambria magazine, and Mr Jones-Davies' 11-year-old son in October 2004.
As Evans pulled out of a junction along the A40 near the Dryslwyn crossroads , his silver Mercedes was hit by a motorcyclist.
Witnesses described how the Yamaha machine exploded into a fireball. Mr Beynon was catapulted into undergrowth and died instantly.
During the trial Evans denied claims that he had drunk white wine and champagne in addition to a beer and glass of red wine, which he admitted drinking at the christening.
He claimed the impact of the crash left him concussed and that was the reason for him wandering away from the scene, minus his glasses.
Breathalysed
A police helicopter and tracker dogs spent almost two hours hunting for him without success.
Evans told the trial jury that he lay face down in a field for much of the night and wandered to Mr Jones-Davies's home, several miles away, the following morning.
They then went together to a police station where he was arrested and breathalysed, giving negative test result.
Evans, director of development at Tinopolis, which makes programmes for the BBC, ITV, S4C and Channel 4, denied allegations during the trial that he had been drinking and had left the fatal accident scene through fear he was over the legal limit.
His defence told the court that Evans was "a broken man" and had not driven since.
But Evans' version of events was rejected by the Swansea Crown Court jury at the conclusion of the trial.

Yes but 18 months of buggery? That will stay with him all his life. He will probably have nightmares of being done up the arse for good ____________________ "Do what you always did, get what you always got" |

I bet the tw@t is out in less than 18 months on some kind of bull sh1t tagging system.
Still, i hope the words "You sure have a pritty looking mouth, boy" and
"I`m ganna make you squeal like a pig" haunt him along with poor anal retention for a long time to come ____________________ Visit my Yamaha Forum. All welcome on
