Lorry driver Tomasz Kroker jailed over four-death crash - 10 years for using his mobile phone whilst driving a lorry
- He kept looking down at his mobile to change the music. There was a camera in the cab ……..
No one goes out to cause an accident or to kill anyone but this was horrific for many reasons. The families concerned had been on a camping holiday and were driving home in convoy - so the partner following behind saw the whole accident happening. A mum, two children and a step-child killed instantly.
I think that this lorry driver should be taken round to Schools, Colleges, places of work; should talk at the Courses for those who speed etc.; go into Prison - and talk, talk, talk about his actions of almost a minute looking at his mobile changed lives forever. Chained to his Prison Officer. Dressed in clothing with arrows on. Make it obvious that this man has to do 'time' for killing someone. It wasn't even a 'death by dangerous driving' but he was done for 'dangerous driving'.
Unless the accidents that happen when drivers use social media etc. whilst driving are out in the open then it will continue to happen.
Oprah Winfrey said 'friends don't allow friends to drive drunk' - we now need a slogan for those who kill/maim whilst using mobiles.
