Excessive?? For deliberately driving a car into a crowd of people? Here's a video - can't see what's excessive about the sentence.
SwissChap-
I thought of it as the other way around. Why don't other drivers get longer sentences?

@SwissChap My phrasing was not quite right, yes he deserved it but 28 year seems like a sentencing blip... don't think i have ever heard of a drivers actions getting a sentence like that....

On Thursday, he was handed two 28-year sentences, which will be served concurrently.
Abdul, who only had a provisional licence for the car, was disqualified from driving until he passed his test.
Described by the prosecution as a determined and deliberate attempt to kill, using the car as a weapon, the attack was captured on CCTV.

Wow.... 28 years...! seems slightly excessive compared to a lot of other driving sentences...?! or perhaps i'm just used to the normal leniency shown to drivers.... ?
