I posted a link the other day to a local driver jailed for killing someone.

Then read this on BBC news today.

So the person who kills someone gets 3 years 4 months.

The dangerous driver jailed for 2 years 6 months.


Now the dangerous driver is a total cock and deserves it.

However, there is 10 months difference between sentencing!

While it does not mention other details for the dangerous driver, one seems a high sentence, the other very low.

Just no balance on sentencing really.

It is such a shame we haven't invented the teleporter time machine. Some idiots need transporting to Bikini Atoll, 1st March 1954.

It is "tale"

If you are driving dangerously is it not just a matter of good fortune that you dont kill someone? it should have as serious a punishment as death by dangerous driving - you shouldnt be rewarded for being lucky!

The ones I dont get are the recent (?) crimes of causing death by careless driving / reckless driving. It seems then your punishment is being increased because someone died not because you did anything worse (partic for the careless offence)
