Story.
This guy runs over a woman, doesn't stop, doesn't report it to police, and leaves her to die in the road.
The woman had been abducted, she escaped from a vehicle, and then this taxi driver, instead of stopping when he hit her, sped on and left her to die in the road.
His punishment? £300 and 200 hours community service.
That's justice for you.

I don't blame the trial judge, there isn't much else he could have done.
the law stinks, but there you go. Running over a woman and not stopping is fine, eating a cake made with hash is a terrible sin and you deserve to be hanged for it.
Lets just hope this bastard gets whats he deserves and dies a slow painful death.
Sentances like this make people take the law into there own hands.
i'm confident ...that i could not do otherwise simply cos i have to look at myself and live with myself every day as it is.
He wasn't convicted of killing her. He was convicted of failing to stop and failing to report the accident.
Get the emotion out of the way and you will see that the sentence is correct.
Had he been driving dangerously at the time, I might have agreed with you. However, just because someone died doesn't mean it was his fault.
if so ...the only possible reason i can think of is that soimething else is wrong ...your over the limit ...you have no insurance ...your carrying drugs money weapons or something ...you have panicked and gone ...
surely ...if you don't stop ...then one of the aforementioned has made you panick.
if your legal and shocked ...surely you stiop?
And whilst that doesn't necessarily mean that she would have lived, him failing to stop added vital minutes where she was without first aid. If he'd stopped and called an ambulance, like any decent human being would do, she would have had a better chance of living. She wasn't dead when she left the kidknapper's car, after all.
