I won't summarise here what the killer driver did, or his sentence, as I'm unable to without putting the forum's swear filter into a complete farking meltdown.
I will say that his behaviour after the collision should have been enough alone to guarantee prison.

Judge Goldstone told Shaw that the public interest did not require him to be sent to jail immediately and instead suspended the sentence. He ordered him to carry out 20 day rehabilitation activities and pay £500 towards the prosecution costs within six months, suggesting he could sell his car.

He also imposed a curfew with electronic tag between 7pm - 7am for 12 weeks. He said: “That is meant to infringe your liberty and it is to remind you, if reminder is needed, how close you came to a sentence which would have resulted in you going to prison immediately.”

If this doesn't cross the threshold for his standard of driving, the leaving the scene etc certainly does. Failing to Stop and Failing to Report an accident are imprisonable offences

An example of Borders justice.
Kill a cyclist due to careless driving, result £650 fine and 5 points so not even banned.

Go the wrong way round a badly positioned roundabout on a clear road in the middle of the night, result £200 fine and 7 points, so loses her licence and has to resit her test.
