    Lest we believe that all cycling cases are poorly sentenced compared to car based ones.

    There was a young woman who borrowed (actually stole) her friends car and got involved in police chase has been sent to prison for 4 months. It’s a small start but court/judges seem to taking a tougher line to enforcing sentence guidelines.

    But I expect to see softer punishment than harder sentences. Hope to be proved wrong

    Agreed.

    I’d far sooner have an impatient motorist past and away. If nothing else, on a narrow country road their car makes a very effective crumple zone protecting my precious carcass should a similarly impatient motorist be coming the other way.

    Impressed that my guess on likely sentence was so wrong. Hope to see some coverage on the news tonight and in the papers tomorrow if the punishment is to have benefit as a deterrent to others.

    She’s not fit to be a mother, take that child from her and put it into the services. Then she won’t be getting any child payments either to spend on booze when she’s out laugh

    More than I expected to be honest.
    Was thinking she’d get a slap on the wrist.
    People usually get less for killing cyclists.

    Yes – if it’s a policeman it’s attempted murder.  Anyone else – meh.

    Exactly this, one such incident in which the miscreant was being chased at high speed was accused of attempted murder when an officer moved in his path and was struck, there was no way that was ever going to stick.

    This was a deliberate attempt to seriously harm someone and the crime was assault GBH and should not have being DD.

    OK, I’ll never use it again. I think the fact i used it 2 times, ever, is enough. Point still stands though. Don’t shout at drivers and kick their cars on a bike, as we’ve seen they can get their ‘revenge’ in spades. I also don’t see what middle of the road cyclist had to gain either by his riding. Horses for courses.

    I have also been known to pull to side to 5s or whatever to let people past down narrow country lanes if I know they could be sat behind me for ages. Doff my cap and everything.

    Anyway, good to see a proper sentence for once. I was fully expecting £80.

    It’s in the Guardian (and maybe other papers)

    Driving ban starts after 50% of prison term. As she’ll automatically get out then.

    As terrible as the whole thing is I think I’m a little relieved to know that this is at the least a clear message to drivers, 3 years in prison isn’t to be sniffed at, I just wish they’d change the law so that offenders could have their right to drive taken from them permanently.

    Does her 4.5year ban include the three years she’s been sentenced to (not that she’ll do three years I’m sure).

    Martin Porter tweeted that the ban starts after she leaves jail. Also 6 points on her license so that’s one mobile phone offence away from another ban.
