My driving instructor gave me the best driving advice I've heard at the start of my first ever lesson. "Assume everyone driving on the road is an 1d1ot. Don't rely on them to ensure nothing bad happens to you." It really has focused my mind ever since I started driving, lol. I've saved myself from getting involved in countless accidents by anticipating the carlessness of other people.

True

I think many road users both pedestrians and drivers are complacent and rely too much on others' goodwill or supposed concentration to prevent accidents.

Grandad-of-nine, Gurdial Dhalliwal 74, died on October 29, 2018, after he was struck down by a BMW M5 which had mounted the pavement on Dunstable Road, near Luton & Dunstable Hospital.

The vehicle was driven by 23-year-old Hassan Javaid, and had been rented by Javaid's friend, Anied Saghir, 31, who later falsely reported the hire car stolen to police.

On Friday, April 23, Javaid, of Hayhurst Road, was jailed for four years for causing death by dangerous driving, while Saghir, of Lansdowne Road, received ten months for perverting the course of justice.

Mr Dhalliwal's five children attended Luton Crown Court to witness the pair's sentencing.

His son Sukhvinder told the Luton News: "I was with my brothers and sisters and we couldn't believe what we were hearing.

"We were shocked that it went down to four years, and then it came out that he would only serve two - with the rest on licence.

"It doesn't fit the crime for taking someone's life.

 
 
 

"Our mother is devastated. She didn't want to be in court and when we told her what happened, it was like reliving the day we lost him all over again.

"I'm also angry with the guy who hired the car. He was older and should have known better than to lend a powerful car to someone so irresponsible, who had no insurance. He lied to the police."

The family feel let down by the judicial system and have called for sentencing guidelines to be reviewed by the government.

Sukhvinder said: "The government needs to change the guidelines these judges are given.

 
 
 

"I would like to give judges more power over sentencing. We were told from the start that it would be between four and seven years. We had hoped for seven but it's gone the other way."

Mr Dhalliwal came to the UK from Punjab in 1963 and worked for many years at Wimpey Homes. He was a keen gardener and deeply involved in the local Sikh community as one of its earliest members in Luton.

"Dad was the glue that kept us together," said Sukhvinder. "He helped my sister whenever she needed some DIY and he went to the Gurdwara every Sunday. He was very involved with everyone in the community.

"His grandchildren adored him and he had so much energy, he could take about six of them to the park no problem at all.

 
 
 

"I believe that he easily had another ten or 15 years left and we've lost that time with him. My mum's lost her husband and my children have lost their grandfather.

"Everyone feels lost without him."

Asked what he would say to anyone tempted to drive dangerously, Sukhvinder added: "I would tell them my story and what it's robbed us of. If you're a decent human being, it's something you'll have to live with for the rest of your life.

"I remember on the day my dad died, my wife called me at work in tears, saying there had been accident. I drove straight to the hospital but the traffic was so bad.

 
 
 

"He had already passed away by the time I got there. The doctors said they needed someone to identify him, and so I did that - it was the hardest thing to do.

"We thought it happened when he was crossing the road, and then police said, 'Sorry, he was hit while walking on the pavement.' We were so shocked to hear that.

"It's worst for my mum. She has good days and bad days.

"I hope things will get better but it's still painful and our lives have changed completely."

Nice comparison. He's neither female nor going to be a lawyer.

A teenage driver killed a grandfather seconds after being clocked at a speed of 81mph in a 20mph zone.

Rexon Rebidelmo, 19, was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court last Friday to five years and three months in prison for killing 81-year-old Charles Burcombe.

The teenager was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving and driving while uninsured and unlicensed.

His vehicle struck a car being driven by Mr Burcombe on Streatham Road in Mitcham, south west London, on 20 December 2019.

 

Redidelmo slammed on the brakes but was still driving at 56mph when his car hit the other vehicle.

Mr Burcombe, who died instantly, had gone out in his car with his 12-year-old grandson to buy some baked beans.

 

His grandson suffered minor injuries in the crash, which happened at about 3.40pm.

Mr Burcombe had pulled up to a junction, ready to turn right, but as he began to manoeuvre his car into the clear road, Rebidelmo crashed into the side of the vehicle.

According to GPS data, which was used to track the movements of the car leading up to the fatal collision, Rebidelmo had been driving around the local area, accelerating to high speeds on streets that had a limit of 20mph.

NEWS - 23 DECEMBER 2021 12:59

Man jailed following serious collision in 2019

Rizwan Waheed Chaudhry

Rizwan Waheed Chaudhry

A man has been jailed following a serious collision in Ealing that “ruined a young man’s life”.

Rizwan Waheed Chaudhry, 21 (10.04.00) of North Avenue, Southall appeared at Isleworth Crown Court on Wednesday, 22 December and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for causing serious injury by dangerous driving and two months for fraud by false representation, to run concurrently.

He was also disqualified from driving for two years – once released from prison – with the requirement for an extended retest, to obtain a new licence.

Chaudhry had previously pleaded guilty to the offences on Tuesday, 21 September.

Detective Constable Liam Kerrigan, from the Roads and Transport Policing Command, said: “Chaudhry’s driving that night was beyond reckless. He was driving well beyond the speed limit and was clearly not in control. He clipped the central reservation, then crashed heavily into the roundabout, at such speed that he flew 50m through the air across the entirety of the roundabout, before crashing into another car.

“Rather than showing concern for his passengers, he was witnessed gathering up silver nitrous oxide capsules from inside his car in the hope of disposing of them.

“He has left a young man with life changing injuries, and you can only hope that this prison sentence will give him time to think about his actions.”

At sentencing, HHJ Johnson made specific mention to Chaudhry’s excessive speed, and how he ignored his passengers’ requests to slow down. He said that Chaudhry had ruined a young man’s life, whose hope and optimism were shattered.

Police were called at 00:28hrs on 18 May 2019 to reports of a collision involving two cars on the A312 The Parkway in Hayes.

Officers attended, along with the London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade. Two of the three injured men were out of the car.

The front seat passenger, who was 18 at the time, had to be cut out of the severely damaged car by the LFB, with specialist cutting equipment. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition; he spent a number of months undergoing treatment for spinal injuries.

A specialist officer was able to calculate that Chaudhry had been travelling at a speed no less than 83mph, but more likely close to three figures.

An off duty police officer, who witnessed Chaudhry travelling at speed, made his way to the crash scene in order to provide first aid. When he arrived, Chaudhry asked him not to call the police. The officer also saw him take out an insurance policy via a mobile app.

Chaudhry was charged and subsequently convicted for driving whilst uninsured, where he was given six points and a £120 fine.

Detectives continued their investigation into the collision, and in March 2021, he was further charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving and fraud by false representation.

common to all these cases is the faith of the perpertrators, and the total lack of spine of the justice system , they all should have a lifetime ban  from driving at the start besides doing a business and law degree De law of thOES NOT qualify you to become an officer of the law and the fact she literally murdered an innocent pedestarian on the footpath next to the road NOT as she ied in the middle of the road means she ended her own career; no one else's fault Unless you believe that the dead man has some blame , all these musliman do not think the law applies to them and are horrified if someone holds them to scrutiny .

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
