New law will allow judges to jail killer drivers for life
The current law only allows judges to jail drivers for a maximum of 14 years but, from Tuesday, a driver who kills could be jailed for life.

I'm not sure there are parallels with people who set out to commit cold blooded murder and people who recklessly kill through their dangerous acts. On the one hand does it matter the intent of the person if someone dies, on the other we have always sentenced people mostly for what they intended to do.
This could lead to people fleeing the scene rather than staying to get help.
