John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-29848021 Have a read and your thoughts... Gooning around in an occupied car park -stupid, but does seem excessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peet Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ridiculously over the top sentence!!! My first defence would also be this is on private land!? Considering what drink drivers get 18 months and few hunded pounds difficult to see how they can justify it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Looks like exactly the sort of laugh any one of us woul get up to. Seemed fairly quiet. 2 year I thought they might have got up to some proper speed though. Down the motorway now that would have been worth 2 years.....

Lawrie Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 The law applies to any road where the public have access, irrespective of if its private. The test case related to a caravan site. You have been warned A two year ban does appear ridiculous, as the usual no insurance/tax/licence mob seem to get away with a fine, and as for the £60 victim surcharge, words fail me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Which part of it was considered "dangerous" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 'kin stupid twonks, dragging a wheelchair around. Really responsible driving - not. I would have thought the trailer passenger would have been stuffed for being a total kn*b. All in the best possible taste of course but still grossly irresponsible and two years probably over severe.

M444TTB Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Seems over the top to me. However it's one less Nissan thingy off the road so ever cloud n'all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 OTT punishment IMHO when compared with what some drink drivers have received. However, if the idiot in the stolen wheelchair had been killed, his removal from the gene pool could have only been a good thing. I seem to remember a father in the south got a lengthy ban for pulling his kid on a sledge on the street using a tow rope and a 4x4 a couple of years ago.

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I wonder what other existing misdemeanors they already had to suffer a two year ban for what seems like a silly prank - I wouldn't mind betting it there is more to it than meets the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
