That is a link to a BBC website, ********.

PH - If there was any justice, he would get the maximum tariff available for causing death by dangerous driving.

In todays GB (Grim Britain) He'll probably get given a TomTom.

Not really any worse than using a satnav: but thats not the point. Id expect him to be sent to gaol for at least four years, maybe six. Harsh when compared to the tariffs for criminals who commit 'crime', but a reflection on the tragic number of deaths and the higher standard of driving expected.

I dont get the Mail, so I wonder if you could tell us exactly what is wrong with reading it anyway. Is it along the lines of the more scurrilous tabloids or does it just quote things that you don't agree with?

Oh dear another armchair critic, do you read the Guardian?...actually, do not answer as i do not really care.


If you read the link slowly, it might help to spell it out as you do so you might spot that it was posted on the BBC site.

If you do not like what i post then feel free to add me to your ignore list or just stay away from them, no one makes you read the stuff although you somehow managed to do so and reply - more fool you really

You are in the Non Scooby Related forum and often news or items of interest get posted, it isn't compulsory to read stuff or reply to it, simple really
Ta, ta!

...and even if he was its similar to using a satnav: he should have been looking where he was going though.

From M6 crash bodies 'unrecognisable'

His defence will claim the family was already dead when his vehicle struck their Toyota Previa because Mrs Statham had crashed into the Volvo lorry seconds earlier.
...so the defence is that the family were already dead from hitting the lorry in front, so Paulo Jorge Nogueira da Silva can't have killed them!

Disgusting
