That being the point, if he truly has mental health problems then it's a different matter all together, wether he should be fully absolved of fault is questionable though.

Since the crash, Mr Cambray said he was under the care of mental health professionals and was taking tranquillisers for anxiety and sleeping problems.

It is unfortunate that so many people in the legal profession are targeting mental health as a way to try and get their clients found not guilty. There are no doubt people who
do have psychological problems or mental health issues and these people should be helped
but there are also a lot of people being absolved of guilt through the courts because their lawyers have falsely claimed mental health issues or the defendant themselves have looked to fool the system by claiming (sp) mental health issues.
I for one do not think that this person should be allowed to get away with his stupidity, he obviously thought nothing of driving 3 of his mates around with L plates on the car. They obviously thought nothing of it either, maybe this isn't the first time he has driven passengers in the car without a license holder in the car?

"Without warning, a silver BMW 535i saloon car appeared over the top of the sea wall and fell on top of them, colliding with Mr Young and Maximillian, and it was those two that took the full brunt of the fall of that car.
"Mr Young ended up being trapped underneath the car and Maximillian was thrown out from behind the car and suffered fatal injuries."
Mr Bartlett said that Cambray had been learning to drive since January 2004 but his driving instructor, Ian Smith, had said that he was a "nervous", "low-ability" driver who needed about 60 hours' tuition before he was ready to pass his test.
Mr Bartlett said that, about a month prior to the incident, Mr Cambray, again driving unsupervised in the BMW car, had had another accident when he stalled three times on a hilly road as he waited to turn right and rolled back into the car behind.
