Is 2 Years A Fair Jail Time For This Reckless Biker?
60 year-old biker Robert Hammond has been jailed for two years after helmet camera footage showed him speeding at 110mph in a 30mph zone and 153mph on a dual carriageway. He was clearly reckless, but is the punishment fair? Cast your vote!

Robert Hammond is 60?!!!! What how?!! oh “Robert”….. K..
That is stupid. At most a large fine and a week. There are far worse people that should be locked up. If he caused an accident and only injuried himself perhaps, but even then two years is just a waste if tax payers are paying for his unintended vacation..
What? 2 years? Geez, I know he was reckless, but he doesn’t deserve that!
He should have his lisense taken away but 2 years is to long
Why should we pay, when he should? No tax wasted on him, just a hefty fine.
Just give him a huge fine and suspend his license for 2 years and make him go to defensive driving courses in order to get his license back after the two year wait
jail time was needed, but 2 years were too much
He was enjoying himself.
They have done this too make an example of him and prevent other bikers behaving like this in the future… Not fair really seen as there is far worse that would get a milder punishment.
I don’t think he should’ve received any form of punishment. Maybe a warning. In the United States if someone posted a video of themselves speeding, it would never be investigated.
