I know the argument is that in death by driving cases there is a lack of intent on the part of the driver so the punishment is less than for many other offences where someone dies, but the bottom line is that someone is dead because of the actions of the driver. Driving should entail a very high degree of responsibility due to what can happen when you don't pay attention, or drive like a tool, but this is not how it is viewed by the legal system or indeed most of society sadly.
