He should have gotten a longer sentence, I don't really believe he is as sorry as he made out in that 'letter' and I think his actions during and immediately after the crime had happened speak more to his intent then, what I believe to be, an emotional ploy after the fact to get a lesser sentence.

We have the technology for cars to be stopped by the police using codes that could be fitted when built.

It's an interesting angle to look at it from, I do think that the police could have handled it better now you mention it as police chases in the kinds of locations where this occurred seems quite reckless. A more careful approach in apprehending him would have very likely led to a different outcome.

I do agree with everything you have said here.

Death by dangerous driving is not treated as serious as it should be and they need to be upping the minimum sentence for this sort of crime after all it is no different to Murder
