Title: Another example of how bikers are viewed in the eyes of the law, worthless.

This is a fucking disgrace, her fine wouldn't even buy a decent set of tyres.

Utterly disgusting but totally expected. Not only is it 'only' a biker who died, it' one of our brown brethren who get away with ignoring every law they want to as well.

The excuse from her defence lawyer that the motorcyclist was on a black bike in black clothes is very poor and no excuse at all.  It was 9:35pm at night, surely headlights were on? What about traffic lights and interesection lights? Plus the fact that she was waiting for a while at the intersection shows she does not deserve a driver's licence and she should be charged with manslaughter or culpable driving causing death at the very least.  Dont give a rats if she has 1 or 10 kids, I'm sure if it was the other way around (white male car driver vs indian female motorcyclist) he'd be in a jail cell right now.  Seems like a PC decision made by the judge in view of her ethnicity.

Speed, hurt no-one, big fine.
Drive bad, kill a person, big joke.

True that Batty.
Bloody defence lawyers are just word twisters.
If he had been at home beside the fire he would not have got himself killed....... sound like a lawyer.
