    Such is life sometimes, they have to try and get on with their life and put the scumbag in the past.

    You seem to have a more relaxed view of this than I have. The **** should have received a far stiffer sentence for ruining people’s lives trough his selfish, inconsiderate stupidity. Not to mention he should not have been driving anyway even if he had not been coked up. Be more appropriate to tell those two twats on motorbikes to **** off you are getting no compo and to get on with their lives.

    Far more relaxed than you, the tosspot that put me in a wheelchair for well over two years, and left me with ongoing health issues, faced court action, using the words of my solicitor 'he was fined the princely sum of twenty eight pounds for driving whilst unsupervised'. I very very rarely give him a second thought, even though given the fact that when he hit me he was on the wrong side of the road, and travelling at 50% over the speed limit, he should have faced other charges. Hey ho, onwards and upwards, and a witness that saw my accident said I was about 10' upwards!

    Abridged version, **** happens, deal with it and don't let it destroy you. :emoticon-0100-smile

    Sympathies. Didn’t know that. I would give these people a suspended sentence. At the end of a rope. Would stop repeat offenders. As the great humanitarian Stalin said “No man, no problem.”

    Not for me, whatever the offence. I go for a whole of life sentence.
    I have a cunning plan for those advocating the death penalty. Have a referendum and note the names of those voting for it. At the first miscarriage of justice put their names in a ballot, and the 'winner' gets put to death. Fair's fair.

    Maybe do the same for those saying it is safe to release people who go on to kill, rape or commit serious offences. Give them the same as the next sentence handed down?
    It was said when the death penalty was abolished that life would mean life. It hasn’t.

    I would take that, there would be millions voting to bring back the death penalty. The odds of getting picked would be miniscule.

    It is life in some cases, and probably should be in many more.

    Since the introduction of whole life sentences in 1983 approximately 100 have been given such a sentence.

    Short life sentence details seem to be harder to find, by 2006 53 people given life served less than 6 years including 1 who only did 15 months
