Is 2 Years A Fair Jail Time For This Reckless Biker?

60 year-old biker Robert Hammond has been jailed for two years after helmet camera footage showed him speeding at 110mph in a 30mph zone and 153mph on a dual carriageway. He was clearly reckless, but is the punishment fair? Cast your vote!

Give him a $500 fine and tell him to do stupid stff else where without people around

What a good use of tax dollars

I believe that he should have his bike license permanently removed, and his regular license suspended for an extended period of time. Some jail time wouldn’t hurt, but community service might be better if his record is clean.

Keep the speed for the track

Two years is excessive. One might be more like it if the judge was being real hard on him.

Personally, I think they should revoke his bike license for a year or two. A couple months of jail-time may be in order. Or they could fine him a thousand dollars. Make the punishment just enough for him to get the point.

Is what he did smart hell no but is it worth 2 years in jail no. A monster time and a few months in jail seem a lot more fair than 2 years.

A person growing/selling drugs gets that kind of a punishment. Are you trying to prove that speeding is as bad as selling drugs? :|

What’s the sentence for walking into a busy school or mall and emptying a few magazines from an ak 47 into the walls and ceiling? He should get that sentence. Same crime.

Like the article says, it’s not really two years, only one. They use his case as an example so he is screwed but I still don’t get it what kind of people film themselves doing anything illegal? What’s next? Live video stream of him doing 200 mph in a town? :D Stupid grampa.
