[2012] EWCA Crim 2531

A sentence of 18 months' detention imposed after trial for an offence of causing death by dangerous driving was too low, where the underlying cause of the tragedy was the offender's decision to begin a chase with another driver and the nature of the driving fell within level 2 of the sentencing guidelines. A sentence of three-and-a-half-years' detention was appropriate.
