The Court held the sentencing judge erred in treating the collision's inevitability as excluding the fatality from sentencing consideration; sentencing must assess the defendant's driving quality and the consequences. The original sentence was principledly wrong and manifestly too light and is substituted with a custodial sentence of 3 months (after plea discount) suspended for 12 months.
