Why allow someone like this to drive ever again?
The article reports the punishment as 3 years and 10 months of driving ban and 20 months prison. Still not enough obviously…

Nothing changes…
Unbelievable. And she only stopped ‘after the car became too damaged to drive’!
If you want kill or maim someone, do it with a car.
I honestly can’t think of another form of murder/homicide/negligence causing death, that results in almost no consequences for the one responsible.
Here in Canada, people will be charged with everything EXCEPT the death of the person killed. If they get charged at all!
A few years ago, a truck driver killed a cyclist in Toronto and got nothing for it. A $2000 fine, six months license suspension, and 100 hours of community service. That’s what a life is worth.
“In the four years prior to Offutt’s death, Cote had been charged with at least six more offences on four separate occasions.”
Cyclists and pedestrians are simply not viewed as people when they are killed by drivers.
someone should start an advertising campaign showcasing serial killers using cars instead of guns
I know, right? Then we might finally get some gun control in this god damn country… (USA, obviously)
I think you’ve misread it. Not that it’s that much better.
20 months sentence (though probably half of that will be custodial the rest on licence/parole)
3 years and 10 month ban then an “extended” drivers test to get it back.
You are right. I’ve corrected it. Thanks
