Some sort of justice.

Finally, a punishment comes closer to fitting the crime.

does a ban now start from when he leaves prison..
not really a ban if he is inside is it.

It would be ludicrous to think that a ban would run simultaneously but I wouldn't be too surprised.

[Rogerborg]

Out in 6 years, it's not like he'll be bothered about being banned given that he'll be uninsurable anyway.

It is ludicrous that bans run from the start of the sentence which is why the law was changed in 2009.

Whoops, no, I mean, "plans were announced" then.

It actually changed this year.

Dammit, wait, that was another "announcement".

I wonder if the same sentence would have been handed out if the victim was on a motorbike

To be honest, this is the exception rather than the norm. 12 years is about the maximum for death by dangerous driving that the law allows. A normal conviction, even with aggravating factors is typlically 6 years, which then gets time off for pleading early and then a 1/3 off cause the home secretary can't build enough prisons to house them all.

I think if you are sentenced to over a certain amount of time the conviction never becomes spent so you would always have to disclose it.

Capital punishment is never a solution in a humane society.

That said, I go along with the general hope that for some reason (yet to evolve) he ends up doing the WHOLE STRETCH and then the ban starts after that.

"A decision was taken not to proceed on charges of failing to stop at an accident, driving with excess alcohol and failing to report an accident."

Why so lenient about failing to stop?

In some ways that's worse than the dangerous driving part, choosing to leave the scene of an accident is a much more callous action. Deciding to make a run for it rather than trying to help injured parties is what sealed the drivers fate.

Having read the article, I have to say that if what is printed is true, I hope he get`s bummed a lot while he`s in prison.

What a despicable human being

Surely in cases like these, there is an argument to ban them from driving for the rest of their life?

ANY drink driver related killing of an innocent is bad, it just appears that this cvnt got a bit more of what he deserves.
Sadly in this world, that is not always the case.

I am against capital punishment as meted out by law. At the same time though if say a man tries to rape a woman, and in the course of defending herself she ends up killing him, I won't be shedding any tears (same for defence against assault/robbery/attempted murder etc)

Take Thomas Kennedy, he was convicted for raping his 11 year old daughter. Total scum right? Surely this sick fuck deserves to be hanged doesn't he?.....

Only he was innocent, and 10 years into his prison term, his daughter comes forward about lying about the rape cos she was pissed and angsty about her parents divorce at the time.
