Bateleur1 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Good news: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/durban-motorist-found-guilty-of-killing-2-cyclists-20180406 Good news with the information what the judge had. Would have been good had the police done the alcohol test immediately (why this is not standard procedure I don't know). Now for the interresting part ... sentencing. As I said many times before that this is normally in my opinion where the wheels of justice come off. Sepia, GaryP and ChUkKy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted April 6, 2018 Share Afraid you are right.Yes, I wonder if he will get more for killing 2 people than Momberg got for crimen injuria? Ferro, lechatnoir, Pikey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Yes, I wonder if he will get more for killing 2 people than Momberg got for crimen injuria? Chances are good that he might get less, even a suspended sentence. Edited April 6, 2018 by Bateleur1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted April 6, 2018 Share Chances are good that he might get less, even a suspended sentence.Possibly yes, which will be quite bizarre. That said, i think Momberg's sentence will be altered on appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herrowpreeze Posted April 6, 2018 Share Just because they are there doesnt mean they are allowed on the freehere are the laws Special provisions relating to freeways1) No person shall operate on a freeway –(a) a vehicle drawn by an animal;(b) a pedal cycle; https://www.arrivealive.co.za/Rules-on-the-Road#part1_26There's a lot of cyclists on the M4 every weekend, so yes. The stretch they were on has a wide yellow lane, so we can only speculate at this time as to what happened.Have also seen this link, look at the state of the car, must have been flying!!! So sad and unnecessary!http://northglennews.co.za/75137/two-cyclists-killed-on-m4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted April 6, 2018 Share Good news with the information what the judge had. Would have been good had the police done the alcohol test immediately (why this is not standard procedure I don't know). Now for the interesting part ... sentencing. As I said many times before that this is normally in my opinion where the wheels of justice come off. Yip, afraid you are correct. This toad will walk and maybe have to do some arbitorty work for society.Guilty man walks again. I am not a betting man but I am prepared to put some money down on this as history has shown extreme leniency towards these drunken louts! Any takers?

I am not a betting man but I am prepared to put some money down on this as history has shown extreme leniency towards these drunken louts! Any takers?Precedent has been established here in the Cape with a prison sentence handed down couple of months ago. Cannot remember all the details, even if the sentence was considered harsh or not. Was a Dr on Bottelary Road that was killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted April 11, 2018 Share I saw this a few days ago and apparently its fairly standard that he will be found guilty once people have died. The real telling point is in the sentencing which many believe will be quite light.i really hope it isnt the case though. Regardless of that outcome there are now at least 2 broken families.

Andreas_187 Posted April 11, 2018 Share I think the sentence will be a welcome surprise. The judge is not an idiot, he knows the guy was drunk and doing +200km/h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
