Putting one of my logoed hats on for a second, I'd have to say that the sentencing surrounding motoring offences is so far out of whack with the rest of the system, that it needs shaking to its core until all the **** falls out.

Sentences like this and some of the others that have been handed down from judges who are supposed to be setting things right make both the police and the general public disillusioned with the whole thing, and give the people who are willing to go beyond the law a feeling of invincibility. This is doubled by the part where there will almost certainly be an appeal to follow this case, as it's too harsh...

Luckily, there is a sentencing review upcoming, and we intend to make sure that killers especially start getting sentences that restore public confidence.
