[2004] EWCA Crim 866

Where a defendant drove a coach in the dark, ran over and killed a cyclist knowing he was suffering from severe impairment of sight a two year suspended sentence for causing death by dangerous driving was unduly lenient, however, in the circumstances, including the fact that the defendant was now almost blind, it was inappropriate to alter the sentence.
