Let's reverse that to cyclists getting 2 years for killing pedestrians in the UK.
I'm fed up of putting people who don't follow rules or wear helmets on a pedastle.
And yes, I know 2 people who's lives were saved by a helmet in a collision. But that doesn't change that these are in the minority and actually are safe cyclists.
Frankly why the stigma of public transport which I exclusively use exists astounds me but people probably "ass-ume" I drive a car daily.

There are several recent cases of drivers getting 15 months or less for killing pedestrians.
