Default Impreza related story in todays Sun.

A 17yr old has been jailed for 3.5 years for killing a toddler whilst speeding in a 30 zone. He also fled the scene.
The **** was driving a hire car, amazingly an Impreza.
Two points....

1. He should have got 30 years
2. What sort of hire company lets 17year olds with minimal experiance hire an Impreza ?

Do you have a link to the article?

Agreed on the need for much stiffer sentences for people who kill through dangerous driving, especially those who shouldn't have been driving: disqualified, no license etc...

Was it an impreza sport perhaps- not many places hire turbos and those that do require you to be older than 17!!!!

Yeah I saw it. Disgraceful IMHO. Wasn't it the same judge who they lambasted for a string of let-offs?

What are you implying ?
This story seems pretty one sided.
Speeding in a 30zone, kills a kid then goes to jail.

The facts speak for themselves as reported in the paper.
I wouldn't even attempt to defend a 17 year old idiot.

no1 your buying the sun and have political/moral views?

haha

but yes there is no excuse for killing a child and he deserves more than our lame judical system will throw at him.

its just not too healthy being so judgemental when you dont know the facts (come on sun = pictures and made up stories with a hint of truth)

I must have missed the bit where i said it was my paper.
Where i work there are many papers lying around for all to read.
I buy the Express, dont suppose that's good enough for you either.

Anyway, i dont think the Sun would sink as low to make up inacurate stories regarding child deaths.

When you've worked out how to use a computer, do let us know what it's like.

Two points....

1. He should have got 30 years
2. What sort of hire company lets 17year olds with minimal experiance hire an Impreza ?

look at it this way he hadnt stollen the car?
he was legal in the car i take it ?
has no one on here never speeded in a 30MPH zone ?
he should of got 30 years for making the worst ever decision in his young life ?

it is terrible for everyone involved
