theres a rumour going around that khan was doing 140mph because the officer in the persuing vehicle looked remarkably similar to jonathon thaxton 
Yes it is rather foolish. Why don't they just stipulate a week's wages or a percentage of their regular earnings, rather than a flat fee, its pointless fining super rich geezers a grand.WildWaylon wrote:Certainly for cars over 1.6 L, but having said that you can just as easily kill someone with a 1.1L - No the courts must be stricter, that has to be the only answer - What gets me is how variable sentencing can be for the same crime - I know a small town where the magistrates are really harsh while just a few miles away in the city they are far more leniant - I suppose you can see why, city courts see far more people and you cant hand out custodials to everyone - I think a persons earnings should be taken into account because a grand to Khan is like £10 or even less to many of us - If you are going to fine someone it has to hurt or there is no punishment - Anyone found guilty of dangerous driving which means putting the lives of others at risk, should get time - The more serious the offence the longer the sentence followed by a three year ban starting from their day of release and then a re test - Harsh punishments like that for all including celebs, boxers, footballers etc ned to be applied.Syntax Error wrote:It sounds like Amir Khan & cars are just not compatible!!!![]()

Agreed. Then I won't have to put my brakes on when overtaking at 80mph on a 2 lane motorway cos some dickcheese in a BMW wants some of my arse.Chambers2 wrote:All cars intended for road use should be limited to 70-80 mph IMO. Its greener and safer, don't know if the car making companies and possibly the politicians (tax reasons) will see it the same as I do though (fcuk em)
