We got there in the end.
Maybe you and JMS can have a whip round and then go together to you
local precinct where you can visit the poundland, sorry 99p shop.
You could then send a bar of soap to your hero for him to drop in the
jailhouse shower block.
Have a nice day.

QUOTE:

A LORRY driver who crushed a cyclist when a cabin slipped off his
trailer has been jailed for 27 months.

Mark Smith had driven 60 miles with it hanging off his vehicle
Smith was behind the wheel when an 8.2 tonne blast-proof cabin crushed
Susan Russell, 54, at the Garrison Road roundabout on the A63 as she
waited at the junction.

Haulage driver Smith, 48, had travelled 60 miles from west Yorkshire
to Hull with the specialist cabin, which is twice the weight of a
normal cabin, hanging precariously off his trailer.

Judge John Dowse sent him to prison today.

The blast cabin was a mobile office being transported to Salt End,
east of Hull, to protect employees in the event of an explosion.

Smith, who has 28 years' experience as a lorry driver, had secured the
load with only two straps and one was broken. He had also failed to
use any matting to stop it from slipping.

Hull Crown Court heard that without matting, it would have need 40
straps to keep it securely in place.

Prosecutor Bernard Gateshill said: "His account is plainly gross
negligence.

"We say he must have seen that the trailer was over hanging, he did
see it, he must have appreciated the risk, he decided for his own
reasons to carry on regardless and take that risk.

"We say it is a case of deliberate risk taking."

Smith had driven 60 miles to Hull after collecting the cabin from
Ossett with it hanging precariously over one side of the trailer.

Smith was travelling at 20mph over the Garrison Road roundabout at
about 7.30am on August 20 last year when the accident happened.

Mrs Russell, who had two daughters and four grandchildren, was cycling
from her home in Abbey Street, east Hull, to her work at a care home
for the elderly at nearby Victoria Dock.

Smith's barrister, Richard Gioserano, said: "His case is he didn't
realise that this was dangerous because he didn't realise it had moved
because he didn't check its position before he set off."

Smith, of Bradford, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous
driving.

Judge Dowse said the accident was caused by "gross negligence due to
inappropriate straps and matting".

He said Smith had led an unblemished life but it was now in "tatters"
as a result of his negligence. He said no sentence he passed, or
remarks he made, would bring comfort to either family who had both
been devastated by the accident.

Smith was disqualified from driving for four years and must take an
extended driving test.

My thoughts are with the family.



I see that "The blast cabin was a mobile office being transported to Salt End,
east of Hull, to protect employees in the event of an explosion." - I guess
that there must be some dangerous and not very nice working conditions on that
site - where ever it is.

'get out of the way I am not stopping' is a deliberate act which could be
foreseen to be likely to cause death or serious injury.

Indeed.
There are a load of pre checks that he failed to do before he even set off,

Can't see him being allowed to drive an HGV ever again though - a total

Yes - this years old story gets wheeled out so often that the true
facts of the case change over time to a grossly distorted version.
She, along with her mates, were playing a drunken game of chicken on a
busy road, but I am sure it will get brought up again in the years to
come with her being the innocent party.

Meanwhile nine people die in motor traffic deaths every single day.

This "busy road" was a cul-de-sac with no other vehicular traffic reported.
There is no evidence whatsoever that the girl killed by the cyclist who
deliberately ran into her was "drunk" and he *did* run into her deliberately,
as his screamed warning to the group beforehand proved.

Simon Mason is a stranger to the truth of the incident. He can't handle the
truth.

Liar. He did not deliberately run down the girl victim. And you know
it. It just suits you to assert it. The police disagreed with you.

There was disagreement about the shout, rather like the
cyclist being on the road or the pavement. It was not screamed at a
girl
pedestrian, it was shouted at a group of pedestrians. "I'm not
stopping" is not a specific threat to one person. You trust coroners
and police when they decide not to charge a
killer motorist. You decide that you cannot trust them when they let
off a killer cyclist. It is noticeable.

With hindsight he admitted that he could have avoided the
collision, and its only partly foreseeable results. He made a choice
to shout a threat (normally a warning) and, I guess, aim for the same
space that the girl aimed for. He obviously did not want a collision,
not on his ridiculously expensive bike. Who would wish to land up
unhorsed amongst a group of aggrieved teenagers? That "threat" occurs
regularly
in real life. Rarely does it produce such a result. We mostly don't
hear it, because vehicles tend to be soundproof, and the "I'm not
stopping" (or "I will run you down") is obvious.

You write:-
"Strange how a careless act gets prison while a cyclist that quite
deliberately runs down and kills a young girl just gets a fine."

So one person is "deliberate", the other one is "careless". That is
where your thinking gets bent.

I am glad you agree that the cyclist made a deliberate decision to carry on
when it was clearly the wrong thing to do, that lead to the death of one of
the party and he became a killer cyclist, by his own intent. Therefore his
actions are deliberate. (since that agrees with me I am not a liar unless
you are too, since we can only go on the reported details and we
agree......)

The lorry driver made a lazy decision to inadequately tie on his load, he
had probably done the same countless times before and had no intention that
the load would fall off, nor that it would injure anyone. Therefore the
lorry driver was careless.

I think that careless is not as bad as deliberate. Therefore the cyclist
should have received a more severe sentence than the lorry driver.

Hats off to the person who has spotted that almost all of the press
coverage came about as a result of the Prosecutor's opening. The
evidence came out very differently in Court.
None of the witnesses could agree what the cyclist shouted or indeed
if he shouted at all.
None of them gave evidence that he shouted "move - I'm not stopping"
which seems to be the phrase that the media have used to demonise the
cyclist.
Having been in Court throughout the trial I do wonder where some of
the reporters got their information.
Some of them even had us in the Crown Court!
I'm back to defending murderers and rapists now where I get a much

ffs - you need to look up and try and understand the words intent, intentional,
intentionally.


intent : Something that is intended; an aim or purpose.
intended : deliberate, planned.

I always thought that you lacked intelligence, education, or perhaps even both.

So, by aiming at the wrong area of road in trying to pass the group,
the cyclist became a deliberate killer.
Does that mean that by moving to the wrong side in trying to avoid the
cyclist, the girl was committing suicide deliberately?

Yes he did try to avoid the collision. He deliberately went to the
pavement side of the group, but so unfortunately did the girl. That's
why, when he collided with her, her head hit the pavement. If he had
aimed at the group he would not have headed over to that side. The
court were not as intransigently stupid and malevolent as you.

the cyclist deliberately rode at the group by mounting the pavement at
speed, which way the child went is irrelevant. The cyclist should have been
imprisoned (as a car driver probably would), but was not, merely getting a
derisory fine. I assume that was because jail is not an option for
'dangerous cycling'? Darren Hall was imprisoned for a very similar offence,
but he was charged with wanton and furious cycling. Perhaps it is time (as
recently proposed) to bring in a uniform charge of 'causing death while
using a wheeled vehicle' which could have the same tariff for all. About
three people a year are killed by cyclists, time the cyclists faced jail for
it.

You are the most stupid fuck. Were those cyclists all killers? In some
of these cases, they will have been the innocent party, as some
motorists will be. Or do you believe that every pedestrian killed by
motorists is innocent? If you do, that would mean sending hundreds
more motorists to prison every year.

I should be happy to see a lot more lethal drivers sent to prison
every year, plus one cyclist.

Darren hall went to the pavement at 25 mph to avoid stopping at lights iirc,
he killed an elderly man. he was a killer cyclist that could have avoided
the crash by not riding on the pavement. he was imprisoned for a while, but
not long enough.

"On average, three pedestrians die each year in Britain in collisions
with cyclists. Just ten per cent of those accidents occur on footways.

In contrast, about 40 pedestrians are killed annually by motor
vehicles on footways or verges, the CTC said."

The *defending* solicitor "blogged" that, you say?

And how did he profess to have determined it? Did he do a blood alcohol test?
Had he been sitting alongside her in the pub whilst she allegedly got
"drunk"? Do solicitors now have medical degrees issued along with their
practice certificates? Or do they have to do their medical studies in
parallel with their legal endeavours?

Good to know that you are so concerned for the dead. Why do you keep trying
to bring cars into the equation. This is a cycling group, the deaths I
mention have been caused by cyclists deliberately and at speed mounting the
pavement and killing someone, how can you attempt to trivialise such a

I do not consider mention of her sobriety or otherwise to be relevant

by me. You and cheerless seem happy to be judge and jury and legal
experts on this case without such demanding qualifications as you
demand from the solicitor. I guess that the solicitor knows enough not
to blog that sort of thing if it were inaccurate. So I'll assume that
it has some truth in it. It has been on the web for three years.

Doesn't have to be the law. Just has to be more dependable a source

And he is.

Meanwhile, cheerless and yourself cling on pathetically, recklessly or

Ten, you say. Well, if her family and friends were like that, I'm not

You are talking about Nugent here who even defended Nuxx Bar who was one of
the nastiest pieces of work going.
Numpty would support Pol Pot if he thought that he was a fellow cyclist
hater or could score a pathetic point for his team of loser trolls.
That is why I killfiled the moron ages ago when it became clear what a phony

The cyclist had a clear choice as to at least two (and maybe more than two)
courses of action. He chose - deliberately - to cycle fast towards a group of
(vulnerable) pedestrians and to shout a warning at them - severally - that he
was not going to stop.

All of that was deliberate.

The warning was a clear acknowledgement that one or more of the potential
victims might be injured.

Certain other aspects of the outcome may or may not have been deliberate, but
they all flowed from a deliberate choice as outlined above (assuming no-one
is going to claim that he had no choice but to deliberately ride in to a
crowd of young people).

If a Mr M heaved a brick over a seven foot fence and it landed in a baby's
pram, killing the occupant, he might claim that it wasn't intentional that he
killed the child, but Mr M's heaving the brick would have been intentional,
and he would have been reckless as to the harm that might be caused.

And that's all the law requires.

The riding the bike, or the heaving the brick, is intentional and deliberate.
And the law attributes either intent or recklessness to the damage done. It
doesn't matter which.

His honour Lee J will confirm all of the above.

There was no agreement in court as to what he shouted or whether he

now.

He did not aim at the group. He carried on cycling aiming for the gap

Indeed. Recklessness at a minimum. And he deliberately aimed at the space
where the group happened to be, even if that is different from "aimi[ing] at
the group".

We can just imagine it, can't we?

You remind me about Nuxx Bar:- didn't Porky Chapman claim that he had evidence
that would ensure that Nuxx Bar was prosecuted for harassing Porky?

What did Nuxx Bar actually do? Now be careful what you say as Porky has
published his real name, However, he did take that web page down - also one
about me, done as the date for the court case approached.

I wonder why he did that?



--
Porky Chapman bragged about the fact that he was taking someone he
had accused of harassing him through the court system.
All of a sudden his court case is off. Was it because Porky was scared of
being cross-examined and having to answer questions under oath?
Or did the CPS sling the case out because of Porky's "evidence"?
Why won't he tell us?
