  Six years jail and never getting to hold a license again right?

    Considering he was driving while on bail, I doubt he’ll stop driving either way

      They shouldn’t be allowed to even own a vehicle.

  6 years doesn’t seem like much. The article says that this joker is a big time serial offender.

    He’s lucky to have gotten anything. Usually you can kill people in a car and get away without any charge.

      Based !fuckcars@lemmy.world enjoyer?

      May I also interest you in: …org.au/…/revised-standard-recommends-larger-park…

      Luckily, they got massive backlash, and haven’t yet actually updated the standard after almost 2 years since.

      I’m gonna be really angry if they do increase parking bay sizes.

      Gotta love urban sprawl

      I feel people suffer more with life in prison, because I hope most of the will come to a realization of what they did and have to suffer. Too bad there’s no hard labor.

      nah. Make him ride a toddler’s push scooter. No more license. Only push scooters. Show everyone what a big boy he is

  From the article;

  “In February 2024, he was caught driving while on bail for the offending which caused Sutton’s death, despite having been banned.”

  I… He killed a person and left a child with a permanent brain injury. And he kept driving. There are no words

  The best punishment for this guy is to not let him have a mobile phone, car or licence.

  If they do ever let him have his license back, he must also only be permitted to drive a 2006 poverty-pack Ford Focus that can only travel at a maximum speed of 80km/h and takes 5 minutes to get to speed.

  But never,ever let him have a mobile phone or Social Media account.
