      At her age that would be a life sentence.

      If the actual crime was driving when she’s no longer capable, then killing people, any justice needs to start with no longer driving. Plus, aren’t the people not taking her license also complicit with letting her drive when she’s is no longer capable?

      Fully agree. Discretion needs to be removed from those who leave this kind of thing unpunished.

      I believe where I live those mandatory sentences are merely guidelines for judges though. Their word is law.
