[2007] EWCA Crim 1605

A sentence of 12 months' imprisonment suspended for 2 years for an offence of causing death by dangerous driving, where the driver's error had been to underestimate how long it would take in his vehicle to overtake a tractor and trailer, should have been a custodial sentence, but it was not unduly lenient.
