Bit hacked off at being descibed as troll, on what evidence?

Posting was really just to start a debate, are there other specific areas of road deaths where there are stats I wondered and how do the typical penalties compare?

As the 56% of drivers have been found guilty of causing a persons death but not given a custodial sentence, there must be some stats about drivers who have been found guilty of causing a death of some others and the typical sentence.

I do appreciate that the article is very light on detail and each case would have specific circumstances, I was just looking for trends from people on here who have access to proper data and their views.
