$2,000 and nine months driving ban for a life! What a joke.

I agree with Buckley! This is vehicular manslaughter

We have a crazy system here, this person would have likely got a much harsher sentence had he assaulted Superintendent Fitzgerald whilst he was in uniform.

Until there is some real reason for avoiding cyclists on our roads they will continue to be seen as either fair game or not worthy of great consideration.

These sentences are the result of technical word play rather than proper consideration of the consequences of the offence (which are not considered in sentencing).

This is perhaps something that could be taken up in collaboration with Sensible Sentencing Trust perhaps?

If you are appalled by seeing the deaths of your cycling companions being treated so lightly, consider joining SST and perhaps we can get it on their agenda.
