On the 4th July 2005 Stephen Jackson was sentenced for 5 years in prison and further 3 years ban for his part in a crash on the A500 in Stoke-on-Trent. Stephen originally pleaded not guilty but later changed his plea to guilty in order to receive light sentence, however the judge decided to penalise him with five year jail sentence.

We don't believe Stephen deserved this and we want you to help us get him out of jail.

Below are details of the night in question.

On the night of the incident with absolutely appallingly wet conditions Stephen left Festival Park in his Nissan 200SX and joined the A500 where Leon Hughes along with his two passengers John Hancock and Lee Scarlett were in a 'chipped' 1.6 Ford Fiesta Zetec S. Stephen has been accused of racing Mr Hughes along the A500, when in actual fact the Fiesta was no match for the 200SX that Stephen was in control of. I'll explain why the cars weren't a match a little further down.


The Fiesta with a under inflated rear tyre careered out of control as it hit a well known dip in the road in a speed excess of national speed limit. The driver Leon Hughes and his front seat passenger died on impact, Lee scarlett the third person in the car survived the crash. Stephen who was far enough behind to witness the Fiesta crash stopped at the scene, got his brother to call the emergency services for help on his phone, provided CPR to the survivor of the crash Lee Scarlett and flagged down on coming cars as the Fiesta was so far off road it barely visible to passing motorists.

For this brave act of helping the injured passenger Stephen now in Shrewsbury prison with a 5 year sentence sitting on his shoulders and 3 year driving ban awaits him when he finally get's out. Surely this passes on the wrong message to follow motorists. I know for a fact I would now think twice about stopping at a crash scene to help. I like my freedom like anyone else. If Stephen hadn't shown maturity and compassion he would surely be a free man right now.

It has been proven from video evidence and timing of a phone call that Stephens brother made, who was a passenger in the Nissan along with his fiancé Louise Johnson that the Nissan was travelling at an average speed of 90mph. Which is a valid point, however we are not disputing that both cars were speeding. We're disputing that both cars were racing. It's near impossible that a Fiesta with the weight of 3 people in, with around 75bhp less than the Nissan would be any match for the Nissan.

How could these two cars be truly racing? A Ford Fiesta Zetec S with around 115bhp would stand absolutely no chance on god's green earth of keeping up with the high powered 200SX pushing around 200bhp. The Nissan was even behind the Fiesta during the supposed race.

Stephen is accused of causing the deaths of the two young men that died. We don't believe that and we don't think you do either. Stephen is currently locked up 23 hours a day in Shrewsbury prison, he and his family are in despair and need your help. Please help us get our friend out of jail for an offence he did not commit by signing this petition.

driven the S3 - but never had the chance in the S4 - I could afford to insure one now too :D
My best mate has one of those, also in black, bit nippier than the S4 but not even close on grin factor :D

Tried to get him to lend it me for the weekend but he wouldn't, the miserable git :grr:

The S4 owner now has the TT.

So Paul_MTS, what other mods are you doing to the golf? are we getting a pictorial history of it happening?

No ricer here, my first car was a 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic, 305cid V-8, custom dual exhaust, 17" american racing rims. I sold that for a very straight and surprisingly rust-free 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo...still have it, will get a built 383cid stroker motor one day. I then went to a rusted out 1987 (seeing a patern here?) Chevy K-5 Blazer and i know have my sweet 1996 Chevy Impala SS, 350 LT1 V-8 corvette motor, 17 inch aluminum wheels. I've had it up to 145 mph...pretty damn fast! Have a 102mph speeding ticket in this baby!

Oh I saw a VW Golf today and it reminded me of this topic. Forgot to take pic sorry. Anyways It was really cool because each panel was painted different like one was blue one was green on was yellow and one was red. Well those were the colors but some colors were on two panels.

that sounds quite messed up really!

All I'm planning to do at the moment is change all the light units to smoked, find a parcel shelf and then get some descent quality speakers in there.

the cam belt is also due for a change when get me log book through.

i may consider a subtle piece of body kit for the front as I never did like the front of mk3 golfs but i like the rest! After that I might try doing a few engine perforance bits and bobs to get a better acceleration etc.

I'll get a new picture up when my head lights arive, at the moment I'ved only changed the side indicators to smoked.
 
opps.....so urm thats £290 spent on lighting now and i only have the side indicators to show for it so far.
 
yay got my lighting through....
