I don't think anybody will condone racing with kids in the car as that was daft. But I do feel this is totally OTT.

Nobody forces somebody to race. If you do race you go into knowing full well what the consequences are. The other guy overstepped the mark and crashed this is nobodies fault but his own. As per usual it's the bleeding hearts, blame somebody else society causing problems.

The guy certainly deserves the ban that's not in dispute but being jailed for 5 years because of another persons inability to control his car. And the bit about the dead man having an impeccable driving record is rediculous as if it was that impeccable he wouldn't have been racing in the first place.

Just my feelings and my flame suit is on
