My partner was co-ordinator of Brent Cyclists until last year.
I've attended Barnet Cyclists meetings on an off since 1986.
I edit Camden Cyclists newsletter and D edited Harrow & Brent LCC's joint newsletter until 2018.
We might just know what's going on with LCC local groups ;)

Do you know Helly, I always had you down as living in the north!

I studied in Sheffield, cut my Audax teeth around Doncaster and have lived & worked in jobs from Lerwick in the north to Poole in the south.
I now live in north Brent, about 200 metres from Harrow and 400 metres from Barnet.
As I'm 200 metres from the NW frontier, I must tolerate HA8 mail...
As I suggested in my original post, there is a lot more to this case than I could glean from Holly's link. I certainly did not suggest that the driver's death was owing to his prison sentence. It's the sentence itself that concerned me: responsible for his actions? Certainly, failing other evidence to the contrary. But preventing him from doing it again could surely be achieved without a two and a half year sentence. Definitely a difficult one, though, in spite of some people's certainties!
There has been a cyclist fatality on the A40 in Northolt today.
RIP rider.

erm, I think they are. At least in part. Prison sentences are not really intended to be punishment, but to 'remove people from society when they are a danger to society'. The Parole board et al review the prisoner's behaviour to see if they have rehabilitated enough to be safe to release. Not if they have been punished enough.As I suggested in my original post, there is a lot more to this case than I could glean from Holly's link.

Prison sentences aren't issued to prevent someone 'doing it again' though.
