A custodial sentence, even a 6 month one, was required- along with a driving ban of at least 5 years. That would have shown that sociey takes the offence seriously- admittedly this wasn't one of the 'didn''t see the cyclist, not my fault' examples. This was a 'didn't see the margin of the road and that massive tree and I had to speed because I was driving a fast car', which the police generally excuse as 'momentary loss of concentration so it's all right'. We don't know how hard it was prosecuted, but it looks more like a sentencing failure born of the 'making the driver suffer won't bring back the dead' dodge. CPS should appeal this joke sentence. We're all disregarding the community service-and we're quite right.
