These guys are amazing in what they do, such a sad tragic tale this.
Well worth the read.

Read this on my break this morning, we all moan about motorways being shut off for accidents and the presence of cctv cameras everywhere but if it wasn't for them and the tenacious copper the car driver would have never been found and jailed. Pity the sentence was not for a lot longer.

Couldn't agree more celticdog just goes to prove that despite how some people try to slag police officers off  they like most of us are dedicated to doing their job to the best of their ability. The judge did not hold back during summing up and before sentencing wasn't surprise he had a list of previous convictions.
Ride safe watch your backs there's a whole lot more as bad as that toe rag out there

Yes, and that's great. But there's a few bad apples that give the rest of you a bad name and that's not helped by Government cuts that mean that those who are trying to do a good job, but simply don't have the time or the money to do so

Still, kudos to this guy for sticking to his guns and seeing this through, rather than many who would have gone "nope, done what I can, case unsolved".

I don't understand, it says the driver had impaired vision, yet it also states he sped up to match the bikes speed, so must have seen him? All very sad anyway.

Sweeting did see him the story does make that quite clear, it was road rage, Sweeting did not like being over taken and it seems he tried to teach the biker a lesson and it ended up in the biker losing his life.
If he had not see him why did he gas it from 52mph to 86mph after the bike went by him?
The cnut should have got 20 years, and if he did have poor peripheral vision he should be banned for life when he gets out.
