I just popped out of my office for a ciggarette and heard sirens and a helicopter overhead. I waked round the corner to the main road (A4) to see a sea of red and blue flashing lights. I walked down to see what had happened and asked one of the people standing around. It appears that a young lad in a BMW M3 (stolen or not, we don't know) had been chased by lots of police cars for the last 30 mins (at least) all around this area. The chase ended when the BMW collided head on with a Fiat Bravo (I think so anyway, but it's hard to tell the car is in such a wreck :() The occupants were two OAPs and although they seem to be alive at the moment, a police officer said it didn't look like they would make it. I saw the kid cuffed and being led away, it looked like he didn't have a scratch on him.

People like that make me sick. I hope he gets put away for a long time. As usual with these situations, the police probably only wanted to stop him for a minor offence such as going a few mph over the speed limit. (I'm just guessing here) But instead of a ticket, this fool will now get time in jail and the deaths of two people on his concience. What an a-hole.
 
Totaled.

They reckon he was going at least 60mph when he hit the other car.
 
The kid should go to jail, and not just for 2 weeks.
 
totally agree with L4S. they never keep people in prison long enough so when they get out they just do the same again & again & they don't give a crap about prison because they know they'll be out really soon.
 
What makes me more sick than individuals like this is that he will go to court, plead guilty and with some good behavior will easily halve his sentance. This is all speculation but say he gets 10 years for the whole incident, he could be out in 5 depending on the judge etc.

The simple fact is they guy has seriously injuerd an innocent couple who are unfortunately going to die due to some fools actions. They should even prosecute him for wasting police time. If the offender hadnt acted like a complete d**k-head all those police cars could have been out attending other more relevant crimes. If there was police 5 cars involved in the chase then thats 2 and a half hours of police time wasted not including however much it cost for the helecopter to be involved. They should throw the book at him and make sure he does every single year of the maximum sentance that can be imposed on him!


Spec....
 
Unfortunately that's the way it seems to go, especially with drunk drivers. Seems like every fatal crash I hear about involving drunk driving, the inebreated driver walks away in cuffs, and either his passengers or the people in another car are the ones to die.
It truly makes me sick.

In situations like this, the offender should get a manslaughter sentence for EACH person he or she ends up killing. That's at the very least.
 
What this kid needs is a ban from driving a car for life. This way, he'll remember every single day what he did, and every time he will be asked why he hasn't got a license, he'll have to tell the story.

That'll teach'em. :dunce:
 
Things like this make me want to vote pro-choice. Sickening.

And that'll stop him... how?

One of the commonest punishments in the UK for driving without a licence is a ban and/or penalty points. Possibly the most useless penalty of all time.

Agreed, my statement was based on the fact that he would actually follow the law afterwards. If he keeps driving without a license, that's not worth much, but how do you want to teach somebody that just doesn't follow the law? Put him in prison for the rest of his life?
 
If the two people die and he turns out to be a murderer, yes.
 
How many people actually go to prison for causing death in a car accident? I wasn't under the opinion it was very high.

Strangely there doesn't seem to be any news of a chase resulting in an accident on any of the news sites :odd:

On the way back from Holiday we were caught in a traffic jam. Turned out that half a mile ahead of us a women in a Ford Ka overtook on double whites and collided with a VW camper. Result, lots of Ambulances, poolice cars, a helicopter and Fire engines. She also lost her life, I don't know what heppaned to the VW driver.
 
Not many do go to prison for serious car accidents, not enough anyway.
 
They'd get charged for manslaughter, not murder. Is the UK different than the united states in that regard?
 
Put it this way, a guy once crashed his Porsche doing 50mph in a 30mph zone, driving on the wrong side of the road while using his mobile phone he ploughed into a car coming the other way killing the two people in the other car. He got a £1000 fine and a ban from driving, and he appealed against it.
 
Sounds like a horrible incident, no doubt the BMW driver will get away with a fine or something but I just hope the guilt will drive him into depression and worse.

We won't even mention "Prince" Naseem Hamed.

Okay, we will. With three previous speeding convictions, he drove at 90mph on a 60mph limit road passing a slower moving vehicle, smashing head-on into a car coming the other way which he hadn't seen (though the road is dead straight, there is a small "hidden dip").

The occupants of the car he hit both survived, though one broke ever major bone in his body and has ongoing physical disabilities.

Hamed "left the scene" as he was worried about "an ugly situation developing". That's "Prince" Naseem Hamed, former world boxing champion.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He served FOUR months and was released, tagged and on licence, today, where he was picked up by a £400,000 entourage consisting of a silver Rolls Royce Phantom and a silver stretched Range Rover limousine, with an inbuilt bar. Clearly a man humbled by his experience...
 
kids like that are just dumb. they do everything they see on TV. This is plain DUMB AND SICK
