After pleading guilty on Wednesday to causing death by careless or
inconsiderate driving, Mr Ntopi was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court
to 150 hours of community service.

He received a six-month suspended sentence and was disqualified from
driving for a year, and ordered to pay £510 in costs.

Wow, that's really sending a message, isn't it? Stop at the scene,
plead guilty and say you're sorry - basically get away with murder.
Yeah I know, murder involves intent, but really anyone who drives
without due care might as well declare "I'm not a bad person, but I
just don't care about other road users".


A more appropriate penalty?

This is to be your fate.
You are to remain in a cell this night to dwell upon your wrongdoing and your coming death. At every beating of the quarter hour a guard shall repeat this sentence aloud to you so you may have no rest.Then at dawn you are to be taken to the Temple and there shall the guard read your sentence to the High Priest of Guis-wa so that the Red-Jawed Hunter will hear that you are not worthy of a place in the Eternal Hunt.Then you shall be taken to the base of the plateau and stripped naked. Then shall a dozen guards of the trueblood whip you and run you through the city. Should you fall they shall apply hot coals to your buttocks until you rise again. At the gates of the city you be hung in a cage and your sentence will be read aloud by the guards upon the hour so that all passing may hear your crimes.Even the lowest shall be offered sticks of bamboo with which to torment you so you may feel the wrath of those you betrayed, yet you shall endure and no one shall grant you merciful death. When you are near unto death from exposure you shall be taken from the cage and revived with water made bitter with vinegar and bread covered with salt. You shall be driven by lash and hot coals to the edge of the Overn Deep where the first Kings of the trueblood hunted There shall be made to drink the bitter wine of betrayal and eat the rotten meat of treason. Then shall your manhood be cut from your body. You shall then be bound and thrown into the marsh where the crocodiles shall devour your flesh. In every royal decree and record of your time among us your name shall be stricken so that no one shall ever speak it again.
In its place will be written ‘one who betrayed the nation’ and your name will be forbidden to children of the trueblood from this day forward. In time even the gods will not know who you were and in the black void of the nameless and forgotten will your soul endure eternal confinement alone.


So not be forced to eat McDonalds then?
