    04 outlines the latest example of pandering to motorists by
    the courts.

    A few extracts.

    Quoted message said:

    Ruth Inglis, a lawyer who works for the Scottish Executive,
    was fined £2000 and disqualified for two years after
    pleading guilty to careless driving on the A1 near Dunbar
    in September 2002.

    Quoted message said:

    Mrs Whales, who lives in Joppa with her husband and two
    children, added: "The family are up in arms about the
    sentence and the way they feel they have been let down by
    the justice system."

    And the most sickening nonsense of all is the following:

    Quoted message said:

    Inglis’ lawyer, Govan MSP Gordon Jackson QC, told the court
    she had been punished by having the threat of prison
    hanging over her.

    Gosh, that's such a hard punishment.

    The three dead were in another car.
