That makes it okay then. No need for a long driving ban. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12047#post-139989 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:50:01 +0000 chdot 139989@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I am BAD at this forum sometimes."</p> <p>Possible, but in this case I noticed that your computer had perpetrated a bad joke at your expense and I deleted it while you were editing the other one. </p> <p>I then went out and didn't notice the problem for a while... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12047#post-139988 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:37:51 +0000 ARobComp 139988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think it ended up being posted twice then the wrong one deleted then I reposted then it appeared again.

No such thing as an accident. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12047#post-139849 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:12:23 +0000 ARobComp 139849@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://beyondthekerb.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/the-problem-with-good-people/">http://beyondthekerb.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/the-problem-with-good-people/</a></p> <p>A good and interesting article about recent judgements made based on Character statements rather than the clear negligence. </p> <p>I certainly think that the lifetime(or near as) ban rather than custodial sentence is generally the way forward. </p>
