This driver really deserves the 2 years, he is not a scapegoat. If you have not seen this channel 4 video, also referenced also above, even after he plead guilty to killing 5 people, when the British reported asked him if he had anything to say, the drivers response was that he did not do anything wrong, that he was stopped in the road waiting to make a turn and was hit. That complete lack or remorse or willingness to accept responsibility warrants a severe prison sentence.
