Gordon William Dyche tried to overtake a two cars that were slowing down, with the front one signalling to turn right, ran into one of them, and shunted it into a reservoir. Four of the occupants died as a result (two of whom were only 14-years old). Dyche was “in a hurry” at the time.
Dyche was jailed for four years in August, but had appealed on the grounds that he was “treated too harshly”.
The appeal was rejected on the obvious grounds that no normal, safe driver would have tried to overtake a car that was slowing down and signalling – and that four people lost their lives as a result.
Quite right, too. And a perfect illustration of what being impatient and “in a rush” can do.
