Re: RE: GOT AWAY WITH IT
He got away with it in as much as he is now serving an 18 month sentence, yes.
A driver who deliberately removed his brakes and went on the road to kill a pedestrian by driving like a nutter would have been given up to 15 years, The more common number in a case where the modifications to the vehicle have been deliberate is ~ 7 years. He got only a year and a half.
Do I need to say more?
