Sadly, two cyclist killed in suspected hit&run S,Yorks.

[Slick]

The driver of the car appears to be the one who's done a runner. Wanted: Paul Yates - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-64407096

Hopefully with the publicity he'll either hand himself in, or be found. There'll be reasons why he ran. Probably.

It shouldn't be, but for me its much worse when you can put a face to them.

Terrible

Well he's not one of mine or known to me or Mrs73, i've been informed he's all over social media so not like to stay at large for long.
Hopefully who ever is helping him will make him see sense and hand him self in. He's going to need help to say free for any length of time.

 

[DCLane]

It's gone to court and the driver has been imprisoned for 12 years - https://road.cc/content/news/driver-who-killed-father-and-son-cycling-jailed-12-years-308581 At least he pled guilty.

 

[Cycleops]

You wonder what goes on in the minds of these scumbags. Never thinking of the misery they can cause, just about themselves .Totally and completely selfish. I wonder what sort of upbringing he had.
Decent sentence for a change but still not long enough, and he'll be out in half. The wife has lost a husband and a son. Can't imagine what she's had to go through.
Just makes me so angry.

Driving ban needs to follow sentence and not be concurrent.

I think it always does. I'm sure @Drago can confirm.

 

[Slick]

Tragic, really is.

He'll be out in 6 years and do the other 6 on licence unless he gets into loads of trouble in prison.
His wife needs to move on and forget him, never mind visiting him in prison and being stuck by herself for years.

 

[Drago]

I think it always does. I'm sure @Drago can confirm.

It usually does.

Let's hope he has fun. As a death-by driver he'll be lower down the pecking order. Not as low as the paedos and jailed politicians, but the ODCs will give him a hard time.

Of course she has no other choice but it doesn't lessen the pain which will take a long time to go. Just so tragic all round.

Two dead and more injured in a second collision as he fled the scene of the first collision.

It should be a mandatory re-sit of the full test, at his expense, with a higher standard expected.

She does she can stay with him and be visiting all the time etc .
I am referring to the wife of the offender not the wife of the man that died.

People like that are not bothered about passing any driving tests. They just don't bother with any of that.

Oh okay sorry. Wrong end of the stick.

13,000 signatures for the petition.

Any Torygraph petition on cyclists would get a million plus. Drivers get off light.
