Driver walks free following crash that killed teenager

Driver walks free following crash that killed teenager

What sentence would  you give someone if they caused death by dangerous driving?

Now take into consideration that they had no insurance.

Add to this a previous ban from driving and driving whilst disqualified, without insurance. A previous conviction for a class A drug offence and another for once again driving without insurance.

A custodial sentence, right?

Wrong.

Niall Darvel who admitted causing death by careless driving and driving without insurance, received two six-month terms suspended for two years.

Darvel, was driving the car that killed Greg Taylor, 19 in August 2013.

The fatal accident happened on Kings Ash Road.

Greg, from Buckfastleigh was hit by Darvel’s car whilst he was on his motorcycle.

He was treated by paramedics at the scene, but died later at Torbay Hospital.

Greg’s mum, Bev Taylor has called the sentence ‘A joke’.

We agree.

Doesn’t seem quite right does it?

    This makes me sick to my stomach.. Greg was one of the greatest friends I could of ever asked for, and every time I see this it breaks my heart a little more. I hope Darvel rots in hell for what he’s done and the pain he has caused every one who was close to Greg. I had known him for 14 years – and I spend every day wishing it had been anyone else but him.. Love you Greg, and I’m so sorry <3

    Disgusting. On more step on the road to a complete lack of respect for the authorities.
