Illegal Drivers (illegal Immigrants)

One Million Illegal Drivers in UK

No justice when illegal immigrants kill on roads

If you're a motorist with road tax, insurance, MoT and a driving licence then can you think of a good reason why one million other motorists are allowed to get away without any of these requirements?

 

These law breakers are surprisingly not a small minority. The chances are that one or two of them live in your road. Even if they appear to have a tax disc it may be out of date or forged. Their car may be registered under a false name or address and they don't care about not having insurance or an up to date MoT certificate. Thousands of people are driving without a licence. For them getting caught is a trivial matter since they will probably receive a small fine and another driving ban which is immaterial as they have already proved they are willing to ignore the law and drive without a licence.

 

Perhaps the most dangerous of the illegal motorists are immigrants who have never faced a British driving test or read the Highway Code. Several fatal incidents have highlighted the growing problems.

 

Callum Oakford

Nine year old Callum was killed by a speeding illegal immigrant who fled the scene after the accident. The police did a good job of tracking down Kamel Kadri, an Algerian who had no licence, no MoT and no insurance. Kadri abandoned the car and disposed of the keys. He came to Britain using a stolen passport and his asylum claim was rejected but he remained in the country. You would expect these illegal activities and causing the death of an innocent boy would warrant a long prison sentence followed by deportation, but alarmingly he was charged with only minor motoring offenses.

 

Deborah Peaty

Three asylum seekers were charged with causing the death of 26 year old teacher, Deborah Peaty. She was seven months pregnant but sadly her daughter did not survive either. Speaking through an interpreter, Ratnam Yogan and two others entered a plea of not guilty. They were remanded on bail while the case was adjourned.

 

Amy Houston (see full story)

A failed asylum seeker has been jailed for just four months for killing 12 year old Amy Houston after a hit and run incident. Aso Mohammed Ibiiahim, a Kurdish Iraqi, got behind the wheel despite being disqualified and having no insurance. Amy's father said "He's laughing at the justice system and he is laughing at every decent person in this country. He will be back on the streets in two months while we face a life sentence." The magistrates, who could only impose a maximum six-month jail term, gave Ibiiahim credit for an early guilty plea.

 

Chris & Anne Mallet

Chris Mallet and his newlywed wife Anne were killed when an illegal immigrant drove his speeding BMW into their car at Holbeach, Lincolnshire. Polish farm worker Wlodzimierl Bogowsld, who also died, was almost five times over the drink-drive limit and had no insurance or MoT for his vehicle. He was driving on the wrong side of the road without lights.

 

Laura Swadkins

15 year old Laura was walking home from school when drugged up Philip Russell, 24, ran her over after losing control of his battered £120 Ford Fiesta. Russell overtook 3 vehicles at speed in a residential street. He had only ever taken 4 driving lessons and never intended to take a test or get insurance. Six weeks earlier he had been released on bail despite jumping bail for his previous offense of car theft. Russell has a string of motoring related offenses. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison for causing Laura's death plus a further year for other offenses. The judge also issued a 7 year driving ban but it's unclear if the ban starts immediately or after he's released. Either way, a ban is immaterial to a man who's prepared to drive without a license and on drugs.

 

Nigel Hodgson

Raj Gohil drove through traffic calming obsticles between 50 and 70mph before crashing into a 38 year old father. Gohil drove off but gave himself up the following day. He was charged with death by dangerous driving and sentenced to 5 years in a young offenders' institution and banned from driving for 8 years - even though he has never taken a driving test. No doubt the young offenders's institution will reward him with regular access to TV, sports facilities and probably some excursions too.

Good to see how first thingt he news does is to add in another dig at asylum seekers. the sentence the guy got was poor but no different from what any other person doing the same thing would have got.

[Louise]

i can see where your coming from now, ok people would be outraged at the sentance if it was a british national....but because its an illegal immigrant they think the sentance should be higher.

 

still think its out of order that over 1 million (that we know of) people drive with no tax, ins, mot and licence....and get away with it, which is encouraging more people to do it (those with no consioins(sp?))

[Guest Shenlong]

yep, it is out of order. at least ppl with out of date/forged tax discs who have got their car registered properly will be got now though seeing as automatic fines now get sent out if your tax ain't up to date.

 

i have to say that the motoring law in this country really does take the piss sometimes. and certain instances of the law in general.

 

all i ahve to say is that if you wanna murder someone then go mow them down in a car, even if you did get caught the likelihood fo you getting a stiff sentence are a lot less!

[Louise]

so true.......you get convicted of death by dangerous driving and get 2 years instead of murder and get 25 years......i can see the sense in that

[Phil rr]

if ur a single parent who doesn't pay their TV license, u can get 12 months.

 

riight. . .

[Ian Cashman]

re: first post. did you copy and paste that?

[Louise]

you dont think i could come up with something like that myself do you

[Tina_g]

2 years aint alot for something like that

[Clubbing Si]

the thing was - only 8 months were 4 the hit n killing, the rest was 4 the tax etc!!!

 

really harsh

[Louise]

the unreal thing was it was a hit and run surely that would count for a lot more than a genuine accident. it proves there he didnt want to face the consiquensis......

 

and he will be out in 14 months

[Guest Shenlong]

like i said, in certain instances, the law is a joke

[Daredevil Tony]

Im sure these laws will change soon.

Like everything in this country, it has to get worse before it gets better!

[Louise]

it cant get no worse..........can it?

[Daredevil Tony]

I dont drive so its not something I worry about.
