Motorway lunacy
« on: 10 February 2009, 23:35:09 »
A driver performed two handbrake turns on a motorway after stopping on the hard shoulder during a row with his girlfriend.

Watch the CCTV video here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/4568230/Driver-does-handbrake-turns-on-M62-motorway-after-row-with-girlfriend.html

Marc Kirk was caught by CCTV cameras as he did a U-turn across two lanes of the M62, forcing other drivers to brake hard.

He later attacked a police officer who went to investigate.

But Kirk, 20, a labourer who has previous convictions for drink-driving, and disorderly behaviour, was given a two-year conditional discharge because he is about to start a new job.

Judge Clement Goldstone, at Manchester Crown Court, described Kirk's driving as "lunatic" but said he could not impose a suspended prison sentence.

He said that because Kirk had a job in Ireland, he wouldn't be able to carry out any community punishment in the UK - which forms part of all suspended sentences.

No fortunately.

Kirk, of Keighley, West Yorkshire, was arrested and later admitted dangerous driving and assault.

He was banned from driving for two years and ordered to take an extended test when he is eligible to return to the roads.

He was also ordered to pay £1,800 in compensation to the officer and court costs.

WTF!!How come he still has a licence? endagering himself and others. someone who has the mentality to do this once (all provocation aside) is more than likely to do it again and next time somebody will get hurt. >:(

This just shows how hilarious the law is. I have just had a suspended three month sentence because i can't afford my council tax and idiots like this get away scot free!
