Wow, those sorts of harsh sentences are definitely going to make drivers think twice about being reckless cunts now.
The court heard that the guideline given to judges in cases of “momentary inattention” causing death was a low-level to high-level community order.
That's utter bollocks.

For the UK the judge actually sentenced him quite harshly.
I had a look at cases in The Netherlands, but there isn't that much online. What I found was also payment to family/driving license revoked for a certain amount of time/community service.
The jury system and the "driving w/o due care" VS "driving recklessly" may not help, we don't have that in NL. But does it mean more sentencing/harsher sentences?
