    Please Help me on this one...

    On the 23rd of October 2005 my good friend John Living was hit by a car and killed instantly.

    The foreign driver had no licence and no insurance, and at court he was found completely to blame.

    His punishment was an £80 fine - yep that's right £80 for taking someones life.

    John was a huge motorbike fan and rode a Yellow Triumph ( sorry I dont know model etc! )
    His girlfriend is working with Roadpeace to make sentences for this type of incident more substantial. She has a petition and wants as many signitures on it as possible.

    If you are willing to sign please email me you name and address and I will add you to the paper copy I have.

    Thanks in advance

    Jon

    Absolutely to signing the petition, it’s the legal drivers/riders of the UK that get the bum deal as unsinured/foreign/illegal drivers are hard to trace and prosecute.

    £80 is discusting. the more you think about it, the angrier it makes you feel.

    So very sorry to hear about John Living, that’s absolutely awful.
