Not much equality here - seems that being young, female and attractive acts as a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card, even when you kill someone with your car in a fit of temper.

"the report makes lear that her age, not her sex, mattered."
Yes - that's what the judge said - but if you believe that her sex did not influence his decision (even if unknowingly, and certainly unacknowledgedly) then I think you are failing to understand the psyche of (usually male) judges when it comes their marked reluctance to to imprison pretty young women ...

Yep. If you intend to murder someone, then you should be sure to pick your weapon of choice to be a car, not a gun or knife.
Pulverise them with a 3 ton lump of metal and you will get away with it, be it the ‘love of your life’ (pah) an innocent pedestrian or an irritatingly slow cyclist. Run the *** over and you will get away with, a slap on the wrist and a few tuts, be still be at liberty will your poor assailants are six feet under.

SD, that case was three year before the guidance changed.
The offender was travelling at speed in a stolen van.
After hitting the man, he made no attempt to stop and had a second crash.
He also had previous convictions for vehicle theft, housebreaking, assault and driving while banned.
Other than the deaths, I am struggling to see the similarities between the two cases.

TCL - despite the young man being a vile scrote and the young woman 'of previous good character', I could easily make a case for her actions being the more heinous of the two and deserving of the longer sentence :
She deliberately took the time to turn her car and took a run straight at her target - a terrible thing to do.
He pinged someone by accident/inattention and was just unlucky that the man was killed - as his defence said :
"What seems to have happened to make the tragedy even more tragic, it that was possible, is he struck the now deceased on the leg and something got caught.
"There was no excess speed involved and indeed nine times out of 10 there would have been a broken leg and criminal proceedings, but nothing like the tragedy that we have here."
I accept that the man's case pre-dated the change in policy, but am 95% certain he'd still have been jailed.
