Lose their licence for life!

If you compare traffic offences and the subsequent prosecution with the non dangerous, but, illegal flight under the bridge.

For the guilty party to lose their licence for life would take death, major mayhem and most probably the involvement of alcohol and or drugs. This of course in many countries would involve a prison sentence.

So, do the ppruners in favour of a loss of licence, also favour a spell in Her Majesty’s?

Last year I remember some poor sod in the UK on a performance bike getting nicked for 100 mph over the speed limit and receiving a few months in the lock up for his troubles.

The public can only compare with what they know (traffic offences/prosecution) with the facts that the media turn into a sexy story. This is the same bemoaning public whom get hammered with a 200 pound fine for exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph.

Remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous?
