No doubt due in part to the single source of truths dictate that we will imprison 30% less people.

Terribly tragic but it is in the realm of an accidental death of a vulnerable road user. The current justice system is a deterant for deliberate acts of stupidity or violence with a token effort towards otherwise good people of community who make a one off mistake.
The court makes allowances for genuinely remorseful people in these type of cases. But I know of a truck driver that got four years in jail for essentially the same thing due to deliberately driving outside the hours limits.

I've always said if you want to murder someone use a car and you'll get fuckall, especially if you have a bit of cash behind you, that sort of sentencing has happened several times, killing motorcyclists doesn't seem to be seen as much of a crime
