I always feel that people are well aware the chance of them getting caught when driving dangerously are minuscule, so they happily drive however they like and take risks.
Stricter sentencing is good, but unless more people start getting nicked for bad driving and the road laws are enforced more, then it's unlikely to deter people who already practice bad habits.
Hopefully this change will stop the stupid "oh, but I'll lose my livelihood" defence rubbish that people come out with.

What do you mean by that? Genuine question.
The main thing that I have found deeply awful in cyclist killed by car cases recently has been the sentencing, not the verdicts so much.
