Beastmode panda Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I met the guy once before. I swapped my xxr's for his buddy club p1's. He drove like 5 hours to my house to swap wheels lol. He seemed like an ok boy at the time. Like others said he obviously didn't set out to harm anyone that day. But he obviously panicked when he got caught and made up a lie that just spiralled out of control really. But sure, a life has been lost. Thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the guy on the bike. Not much else to be said really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Quote "Six months in a young offenders institute"Crikey, that's not a long sentence is it. I thought he would have got a lot more then that for killing someone... pretty normal i think. a few lads around here have had six months for taking causing death by dangerous driving.

Jay85 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 But when you think the maximum sentence is 14 years he was a lucky boy! To be fair he will have the loss of life on his shoulders for the rest of his life! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 A lad near me killed his best friend that's a life sentence in itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 He could have been a sound fella before the incident tbf. Having this happen to you is going to cause pretty traumatic effects and everyone will deal with it differently.Unfortunately his way was stealing people's money etc It's something he's going to have to live with now, that's something I wouldn't want to have to deal with that for sure.

TurboTobz Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) That's awful 😞 was it his fault tho? As I believe this Sam fella was driving like a noobyeah kinda he had literally just passed his test and lost control around a wet corner with high profile tires I think they kinda bent over rims caught the tarmac and it rolled into a field, Kent police now use the car at events to show the public what happens if you take risks. Although the lad that died was the only one with no belt on, supposedly just removed it to grab his phone which he dropped moments before the accident.

Jay85 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Tbh that's the job, someone's gotta do it lol there are up sides too the worst part is paperwork and that unlike the us TV shows over here we act on behalf of the coroner they don't come out and give the body a once over like on tv lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Aye my mum was killed in an RTA, I had 2 traffic cars race me 60miles to the hospital blue lights and everything to make sure I had the chance to say goodbye to her. One then became my family liaison officer and when I spoke to him it turns out that night his shift had finished like 4 hours before they found me but they refused to go home till they found me and got me to the hospital. As much everyone goes on about how much they hate the police. There's honestly no words to explain the respect I have or them. People get all pissy and complain when the police give them a hard time for speeding or driving like an arse but at the end of the day if some one does get killed or hurt its the police that have to then go destroy that family's life by telling them the news Quote Link to post Share on other sites
