BBC News - A19 death crash texting driver jailed

I was surprised it was such a short sentence. Then realised her victim was Romanian. Lucky for her or the sentence would have been alot longer.

Alas texting would only be classed as an Intermediate Culpability so the most the can get is 4.5 years, given they pleaded guilty a third of the sentence would be taken off leaving three years

That is inappropriate even in General.

3 years seems about right.

3 years seems about right.

Which will probably end up being 18 months.

Probably.

Dunno about you though but i wouldn't want to go to prison for a week, let alone 18 months.

Agreed - not a hardened criminal and will have to live with what she has done for the rest of her life. In cases like this I would like to see the offender having to undertake some sort of service such as giving talks about the dangers of texting and driving as part of their sentence. We must not forget that an innocent man lost his life because of this woman not paying attention whilst driving.

Prison is great. No mobile phones - no kids screaming. All your meals done for you. Nice relaxing time.
