Drivers who “used road like a race track” at speeds up to 100mph jailed after cyclist left with broken neck Police officer says pair “were driving so fast they are lucky to have not killed someone” cycling
Two drivers whom a police officer described as using a road “like a racetrack” when one of them crashed into a cyclist who was out on a ride with his family, leaving him with a broken neck, have been jailed for causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
The crash, which happened at 2pm on Sunday 11 October 2020, left Mr Watt with what police described as “life-changing injuries,” including two fractured vertebrae in his neck, plus fractures to his right ankle, right ribs and right shoulder blade. Titt was handed an 18 month prison sentence and banned from driving for three years and nine months, while Lycett was jailed for 14 months and disqualified from driving for three years and seven months.
“This case highlights the dangers posed by inexperienced drivers who decide to use the roads like a racetrack and drive way beyond their capabilities. The rules of the road are there for a reason and apply to all drivers.
