I expect thers more like him on our roads, a long time in prison is what he needs…
Trouble with prison is they have everything they need. He needs locking up with no tv etc then be made to do a days work
You have my vote on that…
And mine
Have reported a drug driver on our road several times, he comes back with a different dent in his car everyday but nothing is done.
Low life scum bang him up for long time
Expect dozens more, even worse when Ryde is doubled in size along with all the other quality tenants which will then fill our Isle.
This IS the good times.
Vote the council out but Bob Seely ‘in’.
Keep him locked up and learn respect
Quite easy to remedy cut his hands off and he won’t drive again
i know what about a boot camp they will get up at 5am and not rest or sit down all day no smokes no alcohol no sex nothing only cabbage water and iron beds WHAT ABOUT THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS THEN THEY DO NOT DESERVE THEM ANYWAY. AM I BEING HARSH NO ITS WHAT THEY NEED. WHAT ABOUT THAT THEN.
Tap on the wrist he’ll get.You would be in more trouble having one more person than permitted over for xmas dinner
Why only “suspicion” of disqualified driving and no insurance? These things surely only take a few minutes to be checked.
Probably the same silver Fiesta that kept hard braking infront of us then reversed at us in an effort to create an accident.
Hang on! Has no-one blamed the mainland yet?
