Tbh he exhibits the same mindset of many a road user who has killed someone through their own stupidity/mistakes but cannot, for reasons of a lack of a moral compass, accept the responsibility. Take away the bike and you have the exact same f&cktard mentality you see with a motorist who kills a cyclist/pedestrian. The only difference here is that if he was a motorist he would stand a good chance of getting away with it or at most a slap on the wrists. Because he is a cyclist he stands a greater chance of getting the book thrown at him.
A tad disingenuous IMHO .. he will get the book thrown at him, and quite rightly so, because he rode a bike intended purely for track use (no front brakes) at speed in a busy street, displaying total disregard for
1) The Law
2) Pedestrians
3) Other road users (he could easily have caused a car accident)
If I drove a track car, on slicks, at speed through a town and killed someone, I would also expect to have the book thrown at me.
The fact they have charged him with manslaughter is both unusual and excellent news, this charge should be used for many, many, more vehicle related deaths.
