His lawyer also told the court Laher was “otherwise a very decent individual” whose business, an IT consultancy and distributor would become “unviable” if he received a custodial sentence.
“That would affect not just him but his employees as well […] his business is everything to him. It is everything to a lot of other people as well.”
So if you own a business in the UK you can basically commit any crime and go unpunished as being charged would affect your “employees”.

Once you start noticing the privilege afforded to business-havers over have-nots, you can’t unnotice it. It’s the same in Canada.
Gee, I wonder how things would be if there was good safety net for unemployment and rights for employees to take ownership if the boss croaks (or goes to jail) with cheap gov’t loans.
Asif Lehrer’s “employees” amount to one other family member and a host of dissolved tiny computer companies according to Companies House, not exactly a pillar of upstanding community business.
Should be stripped of his license for weaponising a vehicle.
Laher was also ordered to complete 30 days of rehabilitation, 200 days of unpaid work, and to pay £1600 to Taibi. He was also disqualified from driving for two years.
Technically he’s not allowed to drive for two years but that is such a small punishment for trying to ram a bicyclist with your car—Something that could very reasonably kill them. It’s actually insane how much people get away with under the bullshit disguise of just “reckless driving” or “road rage”
Yeap, it is so frustrating! If you discharge a firearm in a busy street, even if you didn’t hit anyone, I doubt they’d say “Well you probably shouldn’t own a gun for say a year or two, but after that, have at it, I mean you’re otherwise a top bloke!” Super frustrating!
He can take a fucking bike to work…
Uhhhh, it’s the same EVERYWHERE
This sparked a chase that left Taibi “pedalling for his life” as Laher started ‘revving and screeching’ the engine, before chasing after him, as first reported by the Daily Mail.
Arreat this piece of shit. He has anger issues that almost killed someone. This is attempted murder.
Other than his road rage and nearly killing someone, top bloke
judge ruled despite CCTV footage that it was not possible to determine the speed Laher was going
Does it matter though, he ram into someone intentionally and cause permanent damage to someone. If i punch someone do my punch speed need to be calculate, or is the harm that i cause is already enough for the sentence? The judge is not fitted to be a judge
The perceived speed by the judge would really depend on how rich you are. I’d bet that if you’re rich enough, you’d get away with a thank you note and the person
you punchedwho violently headbutted your fist going to prison.
