In mitigation defence counsel Mr Richard Clewes said: 'The horrible and terrible consequences were wholly unintended. It was the last thing on the defendant's mind. He is very well spoken of and is genuinely remorseful.

So being well spoken is a defence now? must remember that

<<So being well spoken is a defence now?>>

I think you mis-read the report.

"He is very well spoken of" - quite different I think

So should anyone doing 50 in a 30mph zone get a 3 years jail for the potential of a fatal accident?

It's certainly a lot more endangering than speeding on a motorway or A road but unfortunately the police find it easier to hit their ticket targets on the highways.

Harold Shipman was well spoken of......until people found he had killed about 200 women.

LOL :-)

Apart from being an excellent GP, Harold Shipman was evidently a lovely man unless someone got on his wrong side.

But that's true of most of us isn't it? :-)
