Driving while hungover just "careless", legal system decides.

and now one of life's takersMore than 20 people gave references for the teacher, including the headmaster at his school, and the court heard he was “one of life’s givers”.
This guy veered across the white line - we've all done it.
Or maybe because most people do not like strenuous exercise with a hangover. It was an accident, the wife of the killed man herself said she felt the sentence was fair. He is not going to walk free like you say in the title his life will never be the same. What is sending him to prison with career criminals going to accomplish?Maybe he didn't want to play hockey because he was so hungover he was worried he'd get hurt?
And this was no "accident", to describe this man's actions as accidental is insulting.
So if he didn't do it 'by accident', how did he do it - deliberately?
He wasn't fit tto drive
If we accept that fatal accidents just happen, without any blame on the part of the person operating the deadly vehicle, and agree that this is just an acceptable part of using the road, then isn't it time to say that cars and bikes don't belong on the the same road as each other?So if he didn't do it 'by accident', how did he do it - deliberately?
The system has decided there are no accidents on the road, only collisions, so there must always be someone to blame.
Trouble is juries, judges and magistrates think like the rest of us, there are accidents, and while one party might be to blame, their degree of culpability varies.
An awful lot is being made of this bloke being hung over, but he passed the breathalyser so he was fit to drive from a blood/alcohol standpoint.
