  1. If you want to get away with murder in this country murder someone with your car.

  2. Maim someone and just get a slap on the wrists, sheesh

    Someone said recently, if you want to kill and get away with it in Ireland, just do it behind the wheel

  3. That man is facing an early end of his professional career, to complete end of his amateur sporting career, not being able to play with his kids and 35 years of unbearable physical and mental pain just because people like this woman refuse to see that the rules of the road apply to them and cyclists lives matter.

    A disgraceful decision but nothing less than I’d expect of Ireland’s car brained, dimwitted judiciary.

  4. No rights, no responsibilities. Need to watch out for yourself when your on the roads and never mind the law in this country for there is little to no consequences for breaking the law as long as you’re in a car.

  5. Anyone know,did she know someone?god love that man,and his family having to through that and to rub salt in justice postponed,for now!

  6. >Judge Crowe said that a headline sentence of 18 months was appropriate before she imposed a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years.

    Was the Judge deliberately fucking with the poor guy?

    To announce that an 18 month sentences was appropriate only to turn around a give a 12 month suspended for 2 years.

  7. Not only does she avoid jail, she can legally be back driving in 2 years

  8. I know no monetary value can ever make up for what happened this man but can he sue the life out of her now or is that just America? Crazy she didnt do time

  9. Now that a court conviction is secured , he should persue a civil case for damages , permenant change his life, loss of earning etc , defendant is insured , so he should secure a positive outcome for him and his family .

  10. Dude almost killed himself fighting for his priority road user master race ideology. The account given outlines him overtaking the turning car, seeing the driver not paying attention to him and passing as she went to make an illegal turn (probably indicating) but thought his shield of being a cyclist and thou shall yield to my will would protect him… even though she was making an illegal turn, if she was indicating he should have to pay for any damages his bike and snapping limbs caused to her car. 

    Not surprising she faced little consequences, you’re responsible for your own safety out there, all the priority little cyclist green lights and half the city being dug up for you won’t protect you if you refuse to prioritize your own safety over enforcing cyclist master race ideology on the road. “She couldn’t possibly run me over, I’m a cyclist! I’ll protect my right of way with my limbs and organs, she can’t get away with this”

  11. >Judge Crowe accepted that the probation report concluded that Aleksandrowicz had a low risk of re-offending, given her lack of previous convictions and pro-social attitude. The report also said that Aleksandrowicz had demonstrated remorse and had an understanding of the direct and indirect impact her actions had on Mr Brett, his wife and his young children.

    The fucking wagon will do it again

    Automatic licence revocation, and jail time. Driving is a privilege, not a right. She’s not happy? She can fuck back off to Poland.

  12. To be fair, you don’t see too many cyclists getting jail sentences for illegal road manoeuvres and assaulting pedestrians.

  13. Irish courts are such a joke, I’m sure if the judge was crushed twice by an SUV he wouldn’t want a suspended sentence.
