Seb Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 ... and then he went back to pick up his mobile phone. Sorry, I'm tired, don't quite get that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Restorer Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The guy that got killed was drunk, crashed into the central reservation, spun in his car and ended up sideways on 2 lanes of the motorway. He then got out of the car and safely to the side of the motorway and then realised he had forgotten his phone and went back to get it. Thats when the fatal crash took place.

Matt H Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think the sentence is shocking. The guy doesn't deserve a custodial. The judge declared he wasn't texting at the time of the incident, and when you consider the fact that the guy crashed into a car that had crashed ON the motorway by a drunk.. wtf Basically he's getting 12 months for using his phone while driving.

colsoop Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The details are here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/7909510.stm I think it was a reasonable sentence, 60 minutes of sending and receiving texts is dangerous driving. he will serve 6 weeks in jail and 6 out on licence.
