Is this not actually punishing his family? He'll no doubt lose his job etc etc

[DanAB]

doing 122 with your child on the back is a little irresponsible. might not be worth 6 months, but i can agree with the driving ban.

[Velvetee]

No very deservedly.

[ummmm]

He deserved it. If anyone rode at that speed with one of my kids they'd want to be in prison....!!!

[brenda]

Not long enough in my view , he's a complete idiot.

[4getmenot]

if he had hit someone at that speed he would get more so serves him right. Hope he learns his lesson.

[redcrx]

what thought did he give to his family when he let his son ride on the back?

[paraffin]

He obviously wasn't thinking of his family as he was bombing along.
It's not so much that his sentence was harsh, it's just that many others are unduly lenient.
If we had more consistency with sentencing there wouldn't even be discussions like this. Then we'd all be up the creek without a paddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R1Geezer]

Well he didn't crahs did he! Ok he should be punished but all I'm saying is that effectively his family is being penalised. Just ban him for 10 years or something. Leave jail for real criminals.

"what thought did he give to his family when he let his son ride on the back?"

So on that basis the state should put the boot in too eh redcrx?

[ummmm]

He broke the law. That makes him a real criminal.

good job he did not open it up , pity he has not got the title of a lord he would have got a �20 fine

Safety of the child is prime. Had an accident occurred it would hurt the family more.

Biker needs a harsh 'wake-up'! Social will care for family if need be.

[DrFilth]

Outside court Lord Ahmed's solicitor, Steve Smith, said he thought his client had been used as a "scapegoat
