Group riding death bikers cleared

RosieJoe

I saw this last year when the accident happened, they were trying to do all the riders in the group with death by dangerous driving.

At the time there were discussions on doing the lead Rider on all rideouts for speeding/dangerous driving if one rider was done as the lead rider was responsible for the pace of the group.

Here is the article itself.

Good to see common sense win out. The first guy to say it wasn't the others fault, would be the guy that died (if he could of course).

“Each rider made his own decision to ride in the way he did,” said Judge Geoffrey Marson. Nail on the head there. First rule of going out in a group is to go at your own pace.

I remember reading about that a while ago, thank God the judge had more common sense than the CPS....whoever thought of even bringing the case should be prosecuted for wasting Police time, and taxpayer's money....
