Mitigating factors
a good driving record;
the absence of previous convictions;
a timely plea of guilty;
genuine shock or remorse - in cases where death results (which may be greater if the victim is either a close relation or a friend);
the offender's age (but only in cases where lack of driving experience has contributed to the commission of the offence), and
the fact that the offender has also been seriously injured as a result of the accident caused by the dangerous driving
But no mention of 'doing lots of community work' ...
