Should Be 50, Not 5.

That''s a very deadly machine he's meant to be driving.

Just 5 years !

Should have been 50.

No not 50, but it should have been more than 5, think he should serve at least 5.

He could just as well be programming his Sat/Nav. I learnt to day that appears to be one of the priorities
in the new driving standards rather than driving skills.
I believe I would like something more than 50yrs if he took out any of my family whist driving and checking his cell net.

he would have got more but he pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity, and never sought to minimise what he'd done.

That video is terrifying and yet, on a daily basis, you still see people using their phones whilst driving.

we need a new crime, murder by stupidity, this phone thing is the newest menace on the roads. Much more dangerous than drink driving, it needs to be treated as such.

I travel that road when visiting my grandchildren . There can be a lot of impatient drivers stuck behind these trucks, and there a lot of them ( going to coming from Stranraer ferry )
