She was driving 120km/h in a 50km/h school zone.
“It’s clear that Ronnie (McNorgan’s nickname) doesn’t see herself as a criminal,” Millar said after the sentencing. “I think the punishment to someone who is non-criminal, a conviction in itself carries a huge weight.”
What’s also clear is that McNorgan still refuses to believe the crash was her fault and caused by her confusing the gas pedal with the brake pedal. She continues to maintain, despite the overwhelming evidence presented at the trial last spring, that what caused the crash was mechanical failure.
Yeah she shouldn’t drive again, if she’s not even capable of admitting her mistake and still thinks she should be allowed to drive…
I mean even if it was a mechanical failure what kind of person would like to ever drive again after killing a child?

I agree, but the article says that they couldn’t find any evidence of mechanical failure, none, zero, so thankfully we don’t even have to consider that scenario because it doesn’t apply to her.
If her car was not wrecked completely, a mechanical failure should be detectable?

Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.
A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not
is it involuntary if you drive at 120kmh in a 50kmh zone ?
Exactly. That’s like saying firing a gun into crowded theater and killing people is “involuntary manslaughter.”
Seniors should not be allowed to drive.
Seniors should have quality public transport options to use and bike/walking infrastructure for short trips or mobility scooters.
Every driver should be regularly retested. People can develop bad habits, vision can change, reaction times can change, the rules of the road change, yet we trust people to drive safely forever after just a handful of tests while they are teenagers.
But that would be too expensive! /s
I say too bad. Don’t do something if you can’t do it correctly so we shouldn’t allow cars into cities if we aren’t going to make it as safe as possible.
Humans should not be allowed to drive at greater than a running speed anyplace they might encounter another human.
How do you even reach 120km/h in an urban area? It shouldn’t be even physically possible due to the curves’ radius and such.
I thought the headline alone was frustrating but giving the article a read was absolutely infuriating
Fake London strikes again.
Yeah, too bad the punishment for driving without a license isn’t that severe, so she probably will do it. Unfortunately, driving is a necessity for many people, just to get by.
An old person kills a child, claiming she did nothing wrong, and refusing to accept reality. That’s her legacy on this planet. Why are we against the death penalty? It would be so efficient in cases like these. Literally no downside.
Permanent license suspension would be enough to prevent it from happening again, perhaps more repercussions. But your suggestion is a display of cruelty and revenge.
