It's a good job he wasn't eating an apple at the same time!

How can this possibly be just?

*ETA* This is the shoddy excuse for an upholder of the law who released him!

"Lady Justice Hallett said there was "little or nothing" Lord Ahmed could have done to avoid the collision".

I beg to differ.  He could have kept his hands on his steering wheel and his eyes on the road!

"She said he had never been accused of, or admitted, causing death by dangerous driving".

What???  I would have thought the vast majority of people who have been jailed for manslaughter following road accidents had never done it before, so how many times do you have to do it before you are really punished?

He should be thrown back in prison and she should be sacked!

That is outrageous.
I don't drive myself but I fail to see how anyone can think sending or reading a text while driving is a sensible thing to do no matter how empty the road seems!

People have been imprisoned for much less and certainly for more than 16 days. Oh well, it's clearly not what you know but who you know!
