You can't really take into account the laughing either as there's pretty much no evidence on that. I think a few more years would be fair considering he also drove off but I don't really see an issue here like I said in my original post.

I can't see my point getting through to you so I'm gonna stop.

The kind of people that moan about speed cameras no doubt.

It's not the fact he killed someone I am angry about, heck loads of people get killed from cars, not that speeding is right.

The fact he went off LAUGHING is what makes me sick. He clearly didn't CARE that he killed someoned

where's the evidence of that, just a claim.. if you're standing several metres away (7+) you can't really tell.

and the music still on? probably was on before the collision and when in panic, your last thought is 'oh should i turn the music off.'

Clearly it's fast he DROVE off, and if this justice system was right it would be guilty until proven innocent, like i think it is in Scotland

Wheres the evidence of him not laughing? You're just claiming he didn't laugh due to lack of evidence.

I am surprised at your response to this Jordy. This man killed another man - it was his fault. He was speeding at over twice the speed limit, ploughed into the man and drove off laughing. 4 years is not enough. I would give 20 years minimum. People make mistakes so maybe life is not adequate, but a long time is for such a crime.

Yes, many people speed - but you are classed as speeding even if it's a couple of MPH over the limit. This guy was doing 70 in a 30 zone. Plus, most people do not run into somebody and then drive off.

No doubt this man will be out within a couple of years and back behind a steering wheel.

in a debate/argument you can't say you have to prove something didn't happen. you have to prove that it did happen. :S
