Subject: RE: Who killed Kirsty MacColl-BBC4 Fri 24th
In Germany a few weeks ago, a driver who had killed a mother and her daughter, by tailgating at high speed, was given a suspended sentence and a fine. It emerged during his trial, that he had regularly driven at speeds in excess of 200kph. The most shocking aspect of the case, is that this worthless piece of dirt will get his licence back in a year's time. At least in Britain he would have gone to prison for causing death by dangerous driving. Different cultures...
Justice won't bring back Kirsty McColl, but it may help to prevent other innocent mothers being killed so callously.
