I was trying to refrain from social commentary, but it still is a disgraceful situation. I think it is something different when a guy is hit by a car doing 45 in a 30 zone, and that is one thing, but the severity of doing 110 on a blind bend is just taking the mickey. It showed reckles and flagrant disregard to his safety, but more importantly to the other motorist, and if they do get out after half a sentence, then why can't the courts just give them double sentences, so they serve the time they should.
