Having said that it is easy to be liberal with my forgiveness, it wasn't my family that was wiped out.
Seems there is many an instance where people lose their life on our roads due to the negligence of complete idiots, drink/drug abusers, un-qualified drivers and so forth. Through some technicalities or other they just get driving bans or fined ( give a driving ban to a person who is not qualified to drive...how the hell is that a punishment )
I just thought it harsh

Its not that I dont believe he has the condition, but surely anyone who has been up since 4am would be feeling tired by lunch and tea time especially if driving for all that time. I agree that the family of the people killed no doubt will think its not long enough.
