    It said in the Wiltshire Times that he was doing a U turn. The police let him go without pressing charges which is worrying. He should be done for man slaughter and careless driving.
    I'm sure if I did something that stupid without taking notice of what was going on around me I would probably get locked up.

    Thats disgusting, the least he should be done for is driving without due care. Absolutely disgusted about that decision by the police. I wonder if it was the same ignoramous who did me for speeding there a few weeks ago, would be about right, banged to rights with a speeding fine, no paperwork to do and no enquiries to be made as opposed to someone who's careless driving has killed someone and desimated a family, far to much paperwork there to meet targets etc etc. Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking of?

    The rider has now been formally identified as Nicholas L’Estrange - he is well known at GW's as his daughter works for us. He was a top bloke always nice to everyone, never had an attitude and everyone that knows him spoke highly of him.

    as I wasn't there I cannot comment about what 'might' of happened etc

    RIP Nicholas - sincere condolences to his family and friends. I hope the injured biker and the others who were following closely behind are not to traumatised by the events of Tuesday.

    If Mr 79 year old was indeed doing a U turn he needs to be severely dealt with.

    RIP fellow biker, my thoughts are with family and friends and all those who have lost someone in this way.

    How can anyone possibly comment on the 79yr old and what should or shouldn't happen to him. Enquiries take time as no stone is left unturned. He will be dealt with, but in slow time, when all the evidence is gathered, which can take months.

    Let's keep this thread dignified? Surely?

    well said - must admit it's easy to jump to conclusions and get angry without knowing the full details
