Cashley banned for 4 months, fined ?1000 for doing 105 in a 50 on A3.

https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8486666.stm

Opinions as to would a biker have got the same "sentence" for doing similar?

Also asked for 28 days to pay, and was granted! I bet he was cracking up when he thought of that one.

I am a gooner, so please excuse my biased approach to the man

Over twice the speed limit??? I'd be sharing a cell with Big Black Bubba by now and getting lubed up before I went to sleep just in case!

Agreed, I think "celebrity status rich pompous c*nts" should get hit just as hard as the mere mortals!
Great role models they are Thumbs Down
I can deal with a 4 month ban and a fine, i might go to the A3 and do 105...see what I get.

Ironic..

So much for the fine being based on your earnings. I got a ?255 fine for a much lesser offence, I wish I was on a quarter of his weekly earnings (hell I'll take it monthly!!)

He wasn't treated leniently because he was a celebrity, he was treated leniently because he could afford a hotshot lawyer like Nick "loophole" Freeman.

I know the guy in the above linked story. He hired Mr Freeman due to the seriousness nature of the offence the police were trying to nick him for (always stated he wasnt near this speed, even in private). He valued his career enough to risk Mr Feemans fee's, and the result shows you get what you pay for. Just most of us cant afford to take this route so we just sit and watch people that can afford to play the Law at its own game walk away, knowing we probably wouldnt have the same outcome.

At least if they had banged Cashley up I could have looked after Cheryl while he was away Twisted Evil

...but on the plus side that's no points on his licence! Rolling Eyes

It would appear there's one 'law' for some and another for the rest of us.
As I've said before justice bears no relation, not even a passing nod, to the law.

Although what I can work out there DMan, the defense was he was not given a NIP for the offense he was charged for.

This is something I could have got him off on.

From what I understand you're right, what they charged in the back of the police car wasnt exactly (either a lesser or greater charge) what they charged him for going to court. It still took an entire day in court of Mr Freeman arguing before it was accepted, so maybe a "lesser" solicitor could have done the same, but faced with being a biker doing 140mph in our courts, who would you prefer to have represent you? No disrespect to anyone in the profesion, but he has a reputation for a reason, and charges accordingly.

I also believe this wasnt as simple as this, as other options were discussed on how to handle the case.

I still think its total bollox when you read about the rare occasions a biker is caught doing similar, and then hammered. There was even one of those police\camera\actions repeats where coppers are following some guy in a car doing constantly over a ton. They pull him over, scare him a bit with being nicked, then let him off with nothing. Do the same show behind a biker, and they would have shot him down, run him over, and hung his body from a bridge as an example that this wont be tolerated Wink

Bloody Cashley!!

I agree and I really don't understand why bikers have been sent to jail for victimless crimes.

I am so grateful to the government for punishing me so I don't die....

Fuck off.
