    Thanks for the update. The sentencing remarks are going to be interesting,
    as will the sentence itself.

    ThererCOs no reporting of this on road.cc yet, but one can guess what line
    they might take, especially in the Comments section.

    Good.

    What pity he wasn't remanded in custody until sentencing.

    I doubt the sentence will be anything like it should be. I suspect a couple
    of years at most, rather than the 20 years it should be.

    The cycling lobby will doubtless rally around demanding the sentence is reduced.
