Crikey, if I were that judge I'd be very cautious for the rest of my life for handing out such a sentence.

Can the parents/family appeal? Because if not then life isn't worth much.

    The driver got 15 months in jail and a 4 year driving ban in the end. Which is still pretty low, especially since the article said he didn't show any sign of remorse.

    Shit like this is why a TV series like Dexter could exist. Some people are walking around just fine with themselves after committing a heinous act. If it was an accident, fine, don't hate yourself forever, forgive yourself eventually, but showing no signs of remorse is something only a trashfire of a person could do

    I'm coming to the awareness perhaps it never was. And I'm not sure where that leadsbeyond, "What makes human life more valuable than plant and animal life (other than the fact we're humans and kind of biased)?"
