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?

Absoultly discusting the worlds gone mad grrr
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
Hes a repeat offender. What does he have to do? Wipe out an entire family next time? Next time it could be yours!
No words atall, disgusting! Should of got life without a doubt!
And today a guy gets 8 months for gate crashing a race track in his own golf cart the judge admonished him because he could of caused serious injury
This sentence is a joke the judge needs psychiatric help
Disgusting. On more step on the road to a complete lack of respect for the authorities.
