More details
On 2nd August 2015, Aiden Platt, was knocked off his motorbike and killed by a woman in a car.
The driver, was under the influence of 3 different drugs, when she sideswiped his bike.
On 23rd January 2017, the driver was given a 18 month suspended sentence and walked free. The judge ruled that because she had a 6 month old child, she should only be given a suspended sentence.
All this does, is sending a message to others, that it is OK to get into a car under the influence of drugs or alcohol
