For me its less about the driver getting on with her life (or trying to) after what must have been a traumatic event and more about the inconsistencies of the sentencing system. I remember a few years ago a young woman was sentenced to (I think) two years in jail for knocking a bloke off his bicycle and killing him, while she was texting. Seems reasonable? It happened at a traffic light controlled junction; she was on a green light and he went through the red into her path. Fair enough she was texting while driving which is illegal but the accident was actually caused by the cyclists failure to observe a red light. I'm not sure the sentence seems so fair now!
