Can't believe the feeble laws in this country.
Was watching a program last night on channel 5 where some 19 year old chavvy ****** managed to kill his 17 year old girlfriend in his car on the A38.
Not surprisingly he had already been banned from driving so was trying to claim his dead girlfriend was driving despite being filmed at a petrol station 5 minutes earlier filling up and getting into the driving seat. On top of that a camcorder was recovered from the car with footage on it of him driving like a **** and bragging about burning off a scooby in his feeble Fiesta with Audi A8 wheels.
The dead girl was 5'2 and he was 6', the drivers seat was adjusted for a six footer, he had burns from the seat belt and the passenger belt was unused etc etc.
Despite all this evidence they could not prosecute him for death by dangerous driving unless he actually confessed!!! WTF?
They are quite happy to prosecute me for speeding without any proof I was driving.
Luckily he did confess and ended up in jail for 5 years.
What sort of message is this sending out to people who end up in serious accidents??
