Think this is shocking, the tragedy for the family of Lesley-Ann's death only compounded by this individual, and the fact that he has threatened the women he bought the car from and yet he still got bail, unbelievable.

What sort of 17 year old thinks like that?! If that's the type of him he shouldn't have been getting bail. Lying ****.

Exactly, he fled the scene after hitting the young woman, no license, no insurance, intimidating the woman who sold him the car, blaming foreigners and with the law as it is probably get a suspended sentence and banned from driving for a few years, heart goes out to the victims family.

His only concern at any point there was himself, doesn't sound like he had any consideration for the girls whos life he took

Ridiculous. If he was 18 or over he wouldn't have got bail. I could look past it if he had possibly panicked but to try and cover his tracks and tell someone to lie to police for him! Cnut deserves all he gets. Fed up with this boy racer culture of fellas driving barely road worthy cars at ridiculous speeds putting lives at risk. There are enough legitimate drivers who can barely drive as it is

There will be no point in issuing a driving ban against lads like that. If he was prepared to drive at high speed and undertake a car without having passed his test, he's unlikely to abide by a driving ban. Maybe a couple of years in the clink will wise him up a bit.

Death by dangerous driving holds a max sentence of 14 years.
I would say he will get five years in Hydebank holiday home.

Armagh is plagued by these boy racers, I am sure other towns are the same, they rev their engines in the car park beside KFC in their high powered cars with blacked out windows awaiting their next race and they don't give a f**k about anyone but their egos.

Deserves everything he gets.  The dangerous driving is one thing. While not as bad as what this individual seems to have been up to  I would imagine many of the posters on here, myself included have probably been involved in some sort of driving incidents when younger that but  for the grace of God could have had tragic consequences. You do wise up when you get older.

   However his subsequent actions if true are the acts of a sc**bag and he deserves the book thrown at him.

It's the same all over the north but then again they aren't taught how to drive at speed.. then restricted to 45 mph for a year or whatever after they pass. So no wonder there are so many crashes involving young male drivers. The cars they drive are quite powerful as well, gone are the days of 1.2 l novas and clio fart boxes they're cruising about in relatively powerful diesels and having the engines mapped and other mods, lowering them driving, driving with dodgy tyres etc. How on earth did someone sell that tool a saab anyway? I'm selling a car and if a 17 year old came to look at it (minus parents) I'd tell him to be on his way

I didn't do my test until I was 25, I think 17 is too young to have such responsibility.

Not too sure where to put this, but the new Springboks assistant coach might just have the best name in sport Mzwandile Wanky Stick!

Changed times.Passed my driving test 40 years ago this month.Took my dad about three months to have the confidence to lend me the car to drive about a mile to the local park to watch summer league soccer.As a result I drove micro carefully so as not to lessen his confidence to let me drive his car.

I have never had an accident in 40 years.

That is because you have been known to turn up early at the City West a week early to avoid the traffic and stay below the speed limit.

I was in Manchester airport yesterday having a bit of breakfast and a man in a wheelchair came along and asked to share the table to order some breakfast. Canadian. Really nice fella. His story was he was idling in stalled traffic when he got smashed from behind. A girl with a puppy on her lap and using her phone basically changed his life. She fought it for 3 years in court. He had a good job he loved but he started to lose balance at work because of nerve damage and was let go. He is left with severe disability and is often in bad pain. His quality of life and life expectancy badly compromised.
I was almost in tears. I d run the Manchester marathon the day before and while a bit stiff and sore I couldn't get my head around being fucked up by some shite driver and not being able to run or whatever again.
Roads are for getting to work etc, not for racing. Accidents happen but there has to be a duty of care there.
