LIKE Mrs A Rickett (Letters, November 22) I despair that the legal system favours the road killer over the victim.
Two years ago, my son was killed by an habitual petty criminal driving a car without tax, MoT or insurance, with a bald tyre and with stolen goods in the back.
He had not passed a driving test and was unsupervised. He had a history of similar offences and was awaiting further similar cases to be heard.
He and his companion left my son to die alone.
He was fined £260 and this was added to his previously unpaid fines.
It is reported by the RSPB that a man was fined £250 in May 2001 for destroying a housemartin's nest.
The law apparently considers a human life to be equivalent to a bird's nest.
Dave was ex-Navy and proud to be English. I'm beginning to think he was wrong
