Yeah, it's a tough one isn't it? I'm certainly not in favour of handing out excessive punishment in lieu of any sort of attempt to rehabilitate people who have done appalling things. I'm also certainly not in favour of throwing the book at 12 year old. I'm just not sure that losing the "right" to drive for a few years is going to do much to deter anyone from making similar decisions.
