Twat of humungous proportions Charlie Alliston: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-40927791
Skittling peds while riding an illegal bike? I hope they throw away the key, you utter, utter twat.
Alternatively, 18 year-old lad modifies his vehicle with scant attention to possible consequences, then operates his vehicle in stereotypical fashion.
While it's obviously right that vehicle operators should be held to account for their actions, I'm a bit concerned that this case has resulted in a manslaughter charge where others, even more egregious, have not.
It seems almost a truism that a dozen motorists
1 presided over by a motorist in a wig will find it easy to decide that operating a Brakeless! Racing! bicycle at c18mph is self-evidently reckless, while operating a ton or more of metal well in excess of the speed limit, or when your eyesight does not meet the legal requirements, or when you can't see a cyclist right in front of you, or when you have been told by doctors that you must not drive in case you pass out, are all simple errors of judgment that do not amount to driving dangerously or even carelessly.
1: In fairness, a London jury may not be *quite* as likely to be full of motorists as one elsewhere.
