Yes he was very foolish and he could have killed others, but he killed his own daughter a thing he will have to live with for the rest of his life, isn't that bad enough?
Surely banning him from driving for the rest of his life, would have been a more appropriate sentence?

Yes he did deserve to go to prison.
Any convicted offender, for any offence, will offer mitigation as to why they should not go to jail.
If you start taking that into account, where do you draw the line?
Who decides whose circumstances merit them staying out of jail?
The simple way to avoid such inequalities, is for the law to be applied appropriately and without favour, as it was in this case.
This man's guilt at killing his child is something he has to live with for the rest of his life.
The prison sentence he serves is because he broke the law, and that is the laid-down punishment.
The law sends you to prison for what you did, not the results of what you did.

The op ^^^^^^^
My opinion
Lock him up. //
I understand your view, what I don't get is why you think the law is broken?
Did you simply mean he had broken the law, and I am reading too much into your post?
If so, apologies - crossed wires are the price we sometimes pay for written comunciation, where meanings can be misunderstood.

complicated decision. The judge said the dangerous bit was overtaking on the wrong side. After that, he was going too fast, tried to brake but hit the accelerator by mistake.
On that basis, I think the sentence is probably about right, but I wouldn't have been outraged if it had been shorter. If he'd deliberately gone through the lights it would have been worse.
