A derisory punishment really.

A derisory punishment really.

Totally agree someone's life and five months for a driver who had no licence no justice there.

 

[Drago]

Should be Murder 2, death as a result of an unlawful act.

 

[MichaelW2]

"causing death by careless driving" really should be a charge available only to people legally in charge of a car. Manslaughter should suffice for illegal car users.

 

[Drago]

Manslaughter itself is lacking, but with British law as it is would be better than she got.

5 months and out in 3 most probably - disgusting
