We are an incredibly car centric society. What pains me so much with this isn't the size of the fine or the points on the license, but how they came about.
I agree that he is guilty of this, but I fail to see how this is the appropriate charge to press against him. It's clearly the charge that would attract the lowest penalty among a myriad that could, and should, have been laid against him. It shows a systematic failure of the legal and judicial systems to hold an individual to fully account for their actions and, once convicted, to determine an appropriate penalty.
