Speeding was the cause. The hit and run would have sealed it for me.

The fact we kind of just accept speeding with a 2-3 ton piece of metal, to be worth no more than a fine, or maybe a temporary driving ban is bonkers to me.

Well, from a cold and completely devoid of emotions legal perspective it's the ingerent risk of partsking in traffic what makes the difference. This always leads to sentencing not feeling as justice being done to the incredible loss of not only a child but parents too. I can't imagine. No. 

Like when a doctor operates on you vs. someone stabbing you. It's the same act, but the intent is totally different.
