Problem with UK courts is there is no consistency between them most of the time...they have guidelines on what to hand out but it's upto them to decide what they give to people...they may of felt in this case they needed to make an example of this person to others.
How their guidelines work...
Anything over 1.5 times the speed limit and your looking at a ban...(between 1-3 months)...over twice the speed limit then your looking at a serious ban (1 year +) and potentially jail time as well.
So on that basis the sentence he got was inline with their guidelines.
I agree in many cases the sentences for theft etc are often too soft...however the difference with this biker doing 166 in a 60 is the real potential to kill himself and others...which would equate to murder.
I'm not going to preach about him being in the wrong etc...as I'm not squeaky clean and nor are many others on here I'm sure...You just need to always remind yourself it's you who has to live with the consequences of your actions so ride appropriately to the conditions/situations presented to you at the time.
