Sigh.

Someone should, very remorsefully, run over that judge.

Ah shit, that's rough.

Speeding on the wrong side of the road while sleep deprived is "on the lower side" of culpability? What the hell is the normal side then??? A killdozer?

Tfw transwomen and Muslims aren't the most at risk of legal murder in the UK, it's cyclists.

If you want to be a hitman, just use a car and you won't get any jail time.

It killed someone. The fuck it's not.

I wonder if the ruling would change if the car hit another motorist and killed them? What about someone walking?

One important thing to keep in mind: it's not only the person who killed the cyclist. It's probably the system and how it's designed, too. For example, was the "50kmh" limit just a label, or was it enforced and made intuitive with road turns and speed bumps too?

The "justice" system and how it worked here feels like a crime though, to be honest.

Do you need to cover your car in anthrax and ebola?

Surely a death caused by shit judgement and (whatever causes you to drive on the wrong side of the road) is literally the maximally dangerous.

They're setting the bar so high for danger it's in fucking low earth orbit.

Tell me what you guys think of this invention idea. A steel post inside the bike that sticks vertically into the ground if the cyclist is thrown clear above some minimum speed.

"That's psycho, Explodicle" you say. But consider how it changes incentives. Suddenly, the driver is in far more danger if they hit a cyclist, encouraging drivers to spare lives. Like the propane tank meme, but lighter and less deadly for the cyclist.

They're going to hurt you in the short term and billions in the long term, and the law is on their side. At a certain point you need to physically defend yourself, or just die.

Seams like a classic case of driving while tired. If you had a stressfull night in the hospital you probibly should get a taxi home or wait till there is another grownup to take you home. The bar for lenancy was cooperation with the gardi. Like why she is legally required to be. The bar is in the gutter. This case is just sad all round.
