Cyclist killer's six-month sentence 'does not fit crime'

Quote from: Auntie Beeb
In addition to the six months for causing death by careless driving, Santos was also given 12 months for another motoring offence.

In March 2016 he was convicted at Manchester Crown Court of dangerous driving after taking police on an eight-mile pursuit that saw him reach speeds of up to 90mph (145km/h) in a 30mph zone.
