Lorry driver who killed labour peer on zebra-crossing-avoids-jail
It seems that drivers who kill cyclists aren't the only ones that magistrates won't send to jail for careless driving. Mobility scooter users on pedestrian crossing a get the same 'justice' as we do.

Should be a lifetime ban and prison time.
When people are killed by a vehicle, why don't we just have an immediate driving ban for the driver until the facts come out? Surely it's better to be safe than sorry and keep the dangerous drivers off the roads.
"All road users should feel safe, but those using a pedestrian crossing ought to feel completely protected because drivers should expect that people will be using them and should take particular care."
Better not fluff the opportunity to take a dangerous driver off the roads for a long time, then.
Oh.
WTF? He was on a zebra crossing, and the driver *still* doesn’t get to go to jail? What does it take??
absolutely disgusting, careless driving my are, by definition it's dangerous because you fucking killed someone!
These judges are a disgrace and they and the law needs changing and rapidly, we are simply not protected by this failed system.
Dear God! Judge bangs on about protecting vulnerable road users and then slaps wrist
Also, why did it take so long to get to court? Three year ban, but he's been driving about for the last 14-15 months.
