If that’s not an imprisonable offence, I don’t know what is.

Sexually abusing children?

"

I suspect, mainly due to either the jury, or the judge (or both!) being acutely aware that they’re only one small step from making the same mistake.

So instead of everyone trying to improve the standard of their driving, or slowing down, they perpetuate a system."

Absolutely, spot on.

"Sexually abusing children?"

That is. Unless, you're connected to the royal fam/serving government, then it's encouraged.

I'm supposed to be ignoring sbob, but that was pretty funny 😀

Thing is, about this intention/consequences... so IF the consequences were ignored, then NOBODY would get done for speeding, unless they caused an incident. It obviously doesn't work like that. The consequences of driving like a TOOL have to be taken in to consideration and the punishment made accordingly. The horse thing should've resulted in at least a ban. Maybe the judge in the case mistook horses for bikes. Easily done when you're a doddery, senile old ****er.

And other RANDOMLY capitalised sentences.

If it helps, the bend in the video is just after the end of a 30mph speed limit, so maybe the driver was a bit keen to accelerate, given the rain.

Whether this makes a difference I'll let others debate.

Finally got round to reading this thread and watching the video...

Seriously, how the hell can that driver not lose their license for life and not have the car confiscated, but simply be sent on a Driver Alertness Course?

Un-bloodybelievable!
