It seems to be the one where everyone tried to make out that the M1
motorway is really twisty, and not straight at all as it is drawn on
the map, so it would have been impossible for someone to see a parked
car until a second before they hit it. If the M1 had become twisty by
some magical means he should have slowed down to compensate for it.
Not just drive as if he doesn't give a *** who he kills as long as he
gets there a few seconds earlier.


I suspect I'll be a target for this post, too. But as a matter of
conscience, I have to say I owe you an apology over that M1 thread. The
person in question was convicted after due process in an English court of
law. I have a considerable degree of respect for the British judiciary: my
opinion of some police conduct and that of politicians is not always the
same, but that's a different matter. But given that he received a fair
trial, I have to conclude that there was overwhelming evidence. So, I am
quite happy to say that my conclusions were wrong on that one.


What punishment did he get to make up for the life he took away?

I had to Google. Twelve weeks in gaol and a one year driving ban.
Interestingly, he wasn't deemed to have caused the crash, but to have driven
dangerously. Very odd.
