Excellent
How long will he really be in there for though.
Haha - what a cunt.For 12 weeks for sending text messages while driving
bbc said:A Labour peer who sent and received text messages minutes before he was involved in a fatal crash on the M1 has been jailed for 12 weeks.
Lord Ahmed, 51, was driving his Jaguar when he hit a stationary car in the outside lane of the motorway on Christmas Day 2007.
The driver of the other vehicle, Martyn Gombar, 28, was killed.
12 weeks?
What's the point?
Haha - what a cunt.

It seems only yesterday when we were discussing someone else doing this.
Has to be lunacy to text while driving.
I am glad he was jailed, perhaps he should face something extra after all someone was killed.
It seems he will only have to spend 6 weeks inside, the rest of it is to he spent on licence.
Apparently the texting was prior to the accident i.e. the accident ocurred when he was not texting.
How they were able to be certain about that I am not sure.

They should also have the time stamp from emergency calls made by people when the crash happened.I assume by checking phone records against the actual time of accident according to witnesses and/or any CCTV.
'Lord' Ahmed is an out an out cunt and I pleased to see him go down but sadly its not long enough. He's not just a cunt for this offence he's also the anti democratic scumbag who threw the toys out of the pram and threatened to lead a march of 10 k muslims against parliament if he didn't get his own way on something.
The man is better off in a cell or a cess pit than in parliament. Enobling Ahmed is another one of Blair and Browns gross errors of misjudgement.

Haha - what a cunt.

What's wrong with threatening to organise a march, or is this just another anti-muslims rant?![]()
It's inexcusable that the pillock was texting whilst driving. But I think the judge took into account that other cars had also hit Mr Gombar's car immediately before Lord Ahmed hit it and that he took steps to try and stop other traffic coming up at some risk to himself. There where other contributing factors as well.
IMO I think 12 weeks is too short for this sort of thing though, but that applies to all convictions of death through careless driving, not just this one. A driver is handling an object that has has much energy as a bullet, it is an inherently dangerous act to drive a car at speed and the driver should be paying attention at all times.
Will they take his Peerage away. Seems to be the House of Lords is full of convicts..Archer being the most famous. Mind you there is a coupe of bankers in there as well.
Strip him and feed him to the lions.

Automatic lifetime driving ban might make them think before doing it.
Use a knife or any other weapon to kill someone, intentionally or otherwise, get a minimum of eight years in prison. But kill someone using a motor vehicle you get twelve weeks...![]()
