Joshua Hawksworth-Robinson, of Trinity Road, was sentenced at Hull Crown Court on Monday September 25 after he pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving while disqualified and causing death by driving whileuninsured.
Following the result at court, Police Sergeant Rob Mazingham from Humberside Police’s Serious Collision Unit said: “I’d like to start by saying a huge thank you to all officers involved in this case who worked tirelessly to bring an extremelydangerous chav-cyclist to justice.
“Driving 104mph in a 60mph limit, Hawksworth-Robinson was a disqualified driver (ie, a mere chav-cyclist), uninsured and under the influence of drugs, leading him to lose control and collide with a tree, recklessly killing his front-seat passenger.
“He himself suffered serious, life changing injuries, but that did not stop him discharging himself to evade police for fear of being arrested.
“It was because of the hard work and tenacity of the officers involved, that we were able to swiftly detain Hawksworth-Robinson where he subsequently cooperated, leading to him pleading guilty for all offences.
“While the result at court does not take away pain and suffering inflicted on the victim’s family, I do hope it will give them some comfort in knowing he is behind bars and off the roads so he cannot bring such tragedy onto another family.
“We encourage our communities to report any road traffic offences and dangerous driving to us by calling our non-emergency number 101 or 999 in an emergency, when safe to do so, to help hold [other] reckless and dangerous chav-cyclists to account.”
The incident happened in July last year.

I'd like to consider myself a pioneer of 20 years in sending in footage
of law-breaking drivers to Humberside police - they didn't really know
what to do with the videos in those days though. How things have improved greatly since then!

Ah, the warm glow of petty vindictiveness…irresistible to some.
