HGV driver, Barry Meyer, 53 was sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court after belatedly pleading guilty to careless driving causing death of Alan Neve, a music executive.  Meyer was jailed for three and a half years for killing the cyclist during the morning rush hour,  leading road transport solicitors,DrivingDefences.com  reports.

Meyer had previously been banned from driving on five occasions and he had no HGV licence, and was uninsured at the time of the collision.

Judge Daniel Worsley told Meyer that his offences were at the top end of the sale of death by careless driving which carries a minimum sentence of five years.  The Judge also banned him from driving for ten years, saying he had done “indescribable” harm to Mr Neve’s widow, his daughter who was a teenager and to his family.  Also, a lorry driver who tried to help Mr Neve was so traumatised at the scene that he suffered a breakdown and lost his job.  The Judge went on to say that he had sustained a history of driving offences and had a “wretched disregard for the safety of road users.”

Meyer’s sentence was reduced from 48 months to 42 months for pleading guilty.

This sentence also serves as a warning to HGV drivers regarding cyclist safety on the road and that extra care must be taken to avoid collisions with bikes.  To add to this, there are a lot of “after-effects” that often come with devastating accidents like these, such as trauma to families and people who attend scenes to try and help.  Having no insurance didn’t help at all in this man’s case.
