driving away of the white VW vehicle.
He
was also disqualified from driving for ten years.
Police
were called at 9.09pm to reports of collision between a black Suzuki

speed in front of Mr. Dyagasiewicz's motorbike causing the collision.

nothing can replace the loss of Krzysztof, I hope this sentencing
