Quite agree but then you get the system failing everyone - in yesterdays Telegraph it was reported that a 66yr-old father of two was killed when his car was hit by one being driven by a 22yr old racing his 20yr old mate at 90mph. They both admitted causing death by careless driving. Wft was careless about it? "Sorry, didn't see the speedo as I was racing me mate and eating a maccyd/texting me bird at the time...."
The 'killer' got. . . . .12 months, yep thats right 12 months and it was suspended for 18 months. His mate got a 43 week sentence also suspended for 18 months. They were also banned for 3 years.
Something sadly wrong here
