This bit caught my eye:

Quote:

He then went out drinking in the afternoon, downing five pints of beer before he got into his car on the evening of the crash.

So the fact he'd downed 5 pints had nothing to do with it? Just the fact that he was txting somebody?

Great...

Nor does a nine year jail sentence mean that he will be incarcerated for nine years - probably no more than five.
