He was driving in the outside lane on the motorway and texting immediately prior to the crash in which he caused the death of another driver. Firstly, he should not have been texting but instead have his eyes on the road ahead. Secondly, he should not have been in the outside lane hogging it as there were two other lanes free of traffic. He could have avoided the crash either by not texting, being in one of the other two lanes or looking where he was going and breaking in time.br /br /The cheeky bastard! "Lord Ahmed had hoped for just a fine after admitting dangerous driving at an earlier hearing".br /br /WTF! Has this got to do with anything? "The court heard he was so involved in denouncing terror, a ?fatwa? death sentence had been issued against him by Muslim radicals". He gave the other driver a death sentence by his causing death by dangerous driving. The law works in mysterious ways. Lord Ahmed was not charged with the appropriate charge. Rather, he was only charged with dangerous driving. Perhaps, the other driver committed suicide? Still, assisting suicide is a criminal offence...br /br /Related content...br /br /a href="http://www.thisiswesternmorningnews.co.uk/livingcornwall/Texting-driver-killed-farmer-appeal-rejected/article-382396-detail/article.html"Text-death driver has appeal rejectedbr /br /A LORRY driver who killed a man after crashing into the back of his tractor while keying explicit text messages into his phone has failed to convince top judges his six-year jail term was too harsh/a.br /br /One of the judges in the above case is none other than a href="http://www.order-order.com/2008/12/up-yours-carter-ruck.html"Mr Justice Tugendhat, who has recently ordered Guido not to mention the Court Order gagging him which was obtained by those dodgy solicitors Carter Fuck/a.
