Every week the list gets bigger
Until Drink or Drug Drivers are immediately sent to prison
No excuses, this list will grow and grow
Bang them up and keep our roads safe.
I see the drink and drugs are still on the up. Never mind it’s just anther week on the isle of Wight
……pleaded guilty to driving while using a phone and using a passenger vehicle with tyres with insufficient tread. He was fined £83,
This seems to be excellent value for money bearing in mind that use of a phone alone whilst driving should attract a Fixed Penalty Notice of £200 and six points, so looks like a discount for having worn out tyres too. No wonder the roads are getting lawless if Courts do little more than hand out penalties that send a general message that we’re awfully sorry we have to penalise you for your illegal behaviour so we’ll take a token payment but do try to behave nicely in future. See you again soon.
Should have been 3 points per tyre plus 6 points for the phone.?
It mentions a passenger vehicle.
I wonder if his defence argued that he would lose his driving job if they gave him extra points.?
I notice that he has now bought new tyres.
He fitted the best ~ Everest.
All of these drunken drugged up drivers should be banned for life, there is no excuse.
There are many people who need to take cannabis for health reasons and these regular driving convictions do nothing to help their cause.
I fear for Rose Thwaite. I hope she turns her life around and works it out. She doesn’t realise her own self-worth.
What.?
She breaks into places and steals, just like many other people reported by Island Echo over the years. She has no respect for other people’s self worth.
My law would be removal of a hand on the first offence, followed by a leg on the second offence, keep going until they stop stealing or have no limbs left.
But if you think that you can help turn her life around or are offering her a place to stay or a hand in marriage, I suggest that you hide your silver first.
Shall we bring back workhouses too? Have you read any Dickens or history books? Poverty breeds these type of criminals. They are NOT evil people. Change society…
That would only happen in Saudi Arabia, not this soft country.
What a moronic comment. She’s not much more than a kid. Your limited intelligence is blatantly obvious, and you know nothing about her other than what you’ve read (though I suspect someone read it to you). Still, you are a big tough keyboard warrior… why don’t you go and live in an oppressive state with justice like you describe?
Pathetic.
Legalise all drugs, but if that’s the path you choose you can’t own or drive a vehicle.
Fines are only a punishment for the poor… The poverty is such on the Island that there will always be these people committing these ‘crimes’
