probably - remember this was a 'showing off' incident got out of hand - if he'd been given a little underpowered euroshitbox he might have not been such a dick!

If he hadn't of hit anyone and crashed he'd of got no time. Just like being absolutely fuckin bladdered behind the wheel. This is where the stiff sentences should be given out too.

Impaired cognitive function when operating any machinery is ludicrously stupid, and more so when it's intentional.

You could argue that the risk was compounded due to the higher performance of the vehicle, but in reality, the kinetic energy is proportional to the speed and the weight of the vehicle and a crash at high speed in any vehicle isn't a good place to be.

9 years is way too short for this little prick. It should have been manslaughter.

An awful tragedy for everyone concerned. The poor bugger will have to live with it for the rest of his life.

Dont think that's actually true. The offence would have been dangerous driving. If he'd hit a wall or turned the car of and legged it he would have been charged with criminal damage and/or fleeing the scene of an accident and failing to report.

He pled guilty so he gets a third off, and that's about what the maximum sentence used to be. Don't see the point of locking him up for life, incredibly stupid and reckless but longer inside only produces someone more likely to reoffend. Another ten years would be another 500k before inflation.

They should bring in graduated license and restrict the horsepower of cars you can drive at certain ages, black box etc, insurance is expensive but the find ways of getting the money for it or not paying at all.

Death by dangerous driving is equivalent to manslaughter. Doesn't actually make much difference.

Aren't there laws in European countries regarding the power of engine new drivers can drive? I think Italy have passed new laws. maybe it's something we should look at here in the UK.

the parents who bought him a BMW as his first car should serve time too I'm afraid! who in their right mind does that?

Please!
