He was doing 37kph which wasn't excessive but it's the momentum that kills you. Mass x velocity.

When you're driving a massive SUV like he was the momentum is nearly double that of a small car. I know they say speed kills, and it's true, but it's actually momentum which factors in the weight of a vehicle.

But we are doing nothing about everyone buying tanks. Can't be seen to impact the Holy Motor Industry.

Heartbreaking reading the mother's statement. Still expecting the kid to walk in the door. Your man should be doing five years prison minimum IMO. Sends a message.
What message would that be ?

Don't knock down kids ?

We all know that FFS.

That driving a car isn't a god given right but instead a privilege. If you're lucky and privileged enough to be driving (especially a large heavy vehicle like that man was driving) you should absolutely be doing everything to obey the rules of the road and definitely not be distracted. If you don't do these things you must pay the consequences
 
Take no notice, some on here have their emotions on their sleeves and are sheepeople.

Accidents can and do happen, this terribly unfortunate accident has had a very sad outcome for everyone involved in it.

Some dip shits here probably think the driver of the vehicle is out celebrating because he got " such a light sentence ".
He will have to live with the consequences of this for the rest of his life.
The parents of the child that was killed also have to live with the consequences of his callous actions. The sentence was a joke.

So in your book, accidents cannot occur ?

Ah come on, how many times have you seen cars speed up to amber lights and blantely fly through just turned red lights?!

This wasn't an accident, the driver pleaded guilty.

" He (the driver) did not stop in a red light, had no awareness of the road and surroundings, did not try to turn or evade his (Andre’s) direction, and did not do an emergency stop.

"Before crossing André waited for the green man. This driver’s actions killed my son."
