In fairness he was a good golfer.
Worse than murderous rapist taxi drivers, or the thieving taxi drivers?
Go back to tending your sick family.
He already had a conviction for dangerous driving too.
The judge is sending out the message that it’s ok to purposely run over cyclists. Presumably only if you come from a middle class background.
