There's no defendable reason for that.

Ok so if I'm reading that properly, it's a case of "OK you killed someone, go down for 15 years" instead of "Ok how can we get it in to your mind that driving the way you did
could have caused an accident?". I'd prefer to treat the disease rather than cure it.

I'm in favour of proven methods of attacking the cause of bad driving. As we've agreed speed cameras do nothing but take photos. There are other traffic calming methods available that don't raise so much revenue for the treasury but they don't suit the anti-car brigade.
