"had cameras fitted to their motorbikes which recorded their journeys, as well as how fast they were going." Doh!

So now the biker is at fault for a muppet following too close and not being able to stop Rolling Eyes

18 month sentences. Shocked

For context, Brian Hampton, the banned uninsured drink-driver who smashed straight into the back of 16 year old pedgirl Jade Clark and then fled the scene received 24 months for killing her.

I somehow doubt the insurers will be taking the same view as this reporter Laughing

Suspended, however - while Hampton received a total of 6 years sentence in prison, I believe.

However, yes does seem rather harsh.
I presume he didn't have decent representation - I wonder what the situation would have been if he did have.

Suspended custodial, which is typically conditional on completing any community service and whatever else the judge feels like piling on, like "get caught so much as looking at a bike again and you'll be banged up quicker than you can say 'super-ASBO'".

But only 24 months for the actual driving offence.

Like the prick from N dubz or whatnot, got suspended sentence for assault, gets dragged to court for another assault and gets the "definitely definitely getting porridge next time and I ain't even lying. So behave and shit".

Damn man...
Imagine if Brian Hampton were on a bike at the time! They would have had to reinstate capital punishment just to keep everything to scale. Shocked

Most bikers aren't famous nobheads though.
