The driver of the bin lorry who passed out at the wheel (not for the first time) was arrested today. Allegedly he'd been reported as driving his car while banned. His HGV licence was revoked by the DVLA back in June and his ordinary licence for one year. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-34438129At the Fatal Incident Enquiry back in the summer, there was criticism of Glasgow City Council's recruitment procedures and also of his GPs who apparently failed to spot a series of fainting attacks in his medical records. That's all good and well. Yeah, improve those processes, no question. BUT.......does driver Harry Clarke bear NO personal responsibility here? If he's found guilty of driving while banned doesn't it just reinforce his utterly selfish disregard for public safety? Guy needs locked up, IMV. Should've been charged with manslaughter as well if you ask me.
