Everyone knows that committing another crime cancels the previous one out.
Death by careless driving strikes again. But it realistically needs to exist as a charge because based on the description there’s not much chance she’d have been found guilty of dangerous driving. Hopefully she never drives again though.
I really wish the CPS wouldn’t entertain people who plead guilty to lesser charges in things like this – that seems from the reported facts a very clear causing death by dangerous driving and it should have been tried as such.
Jesus Christ on a bike. This is a joke sentence/ punishment. No insurance, dangerous driving, and gets to walk away Scott free.
Not even a 10 year driving ban, just 3.
„Sentencing her, Judge Julian Smith found Hanson was driving at something like 60mph following expert analysis.“
That’s some top level journalism there.
Another joke of a Sentence. Why the court and CPS accepted a guilty plea to a lesser offence I do not know.
We’re never going to see driving standards improve unless this shit is punished properly.
Many of these delivery drivers are pushed too hard. And I include delivery cyclists on their motorised (often tuned to achieve ridiculously high speeds) bicycles. They can be a real menace on our urban pavements and other pedestrian only thoroughfares….. I completely understand they have a job to do, but that *should not* involve being careless and sloppy with driving their vehicles or other motorised contraptions at ridiculous speeds that endanger the lives of all too often unsuspecting pedestrians…!! I firmly believe the government needs to toughen up the regulations governing thie respective regulatory environment as well as increase enforcement concerning the delivery app companies that these delivery drivers and cyclists.
My heart guess it to this person (and others who have been victims of the same negligent circumstances), and to their loved ones❤️
If we think this is bad, just wait until the Sentence Reform Act comes in and starts dishing out community orders for everything.
Getting a custodial sentence will be harder than ever to achieve.

First word of the article explains why „she“ didn’t get any prison time….
So if I have a jail sentence I just need to kill a man on the pavement to avoid it?
The driver pled guilty to the lesser charge, got a reduction in the sentence because of that plea.
How on earth is 16 months suspended considered a fair and just punishment for killing someone?
Why doesn’t manslaughter apply in these kind of cases?
Low risk of re-offending. No previous convictions. Stayed at the scene and called emergency services. Her explanation of why she swerved was plausible. Speeding but no other indication of recklessness or deliberate disregard for the safety of others. The insurance issue was lack of cover for using the car for delivery work and it is likely that she didn’t realise she wasn’t covered (like 90% of people using private vehicles for delivery work). The sentence seems appropriate to me.
Should be manslaughter by way of reckless driving.
10 years.
remember, if you wanna kill someone and get away with it, use a car.
Another sentence that needs to be referred for being too lenient
This is why I’m always looking around even when I’m quietly walking along the kerb. Seen so many instances of cars and lorries swerving into the direction of pedestrians
