Sounds like they stopped him on purpose because he was disqualified from driving, and then he was under the influence to boot! As if the first time wasn't senseless enough...

Outrageous, honestly. Doesn't seem to matter how many people you kill while driving, they always seem to get a pathetic sentence.

He was not the one driving when the three were killed. He was a passenger.

The driver was one of the three who died.
