He killed somebody but he "has no memory of what happened".

    The trial had heard Hill said to a woman who stopped to help after the crash: “I was looking for my drink. I didn’t even see her. What will I get?”

    So he's focused on what are the possible consequences for himself when there's a person dying in front of him?

    I've said this before, but if you really want someone dead, just drive into them walking with your phone out, chances are slim you're going to jail.

    If you ever want to get away with killing someone, do it in a car.

    This is murder. No other word for it.

    Imposing 12 months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, Judge Bate said he had taken into account Hill's plea and gave him credit for it.

    Hill was also disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to do up to 15 days Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) and 300 hours unpaid work.

    What do they mean by suspended for 18 months? Jail sentence will start 18 months from now? Hope the prosecutor appeal for that. What rubbish.

    18 months probation. If he gets in any trouble during that time, he's doing 12 months. It's a joke. We have the same court rulings every week in Germany and it's just sad at this point.

    I remember a truck driver illegally cutting across a supermarket parking lot to avoid a traffic light, killing a kid, getting no punishment other than his license suspended for A SINGLE MONTH and then having the fucking audacity to fight that in appeals.

    Putting regular people in cages won't fix the completely busted transit system that's literally destroying the planet.

    Gotta put the politicians, planners, car/oil lobby, etc. in jail.
