How does this sentence make you less likely to be distracted behind the wheel? Are you going to think about it and then think, "oh I would take extra risks, but Sindu received eight years in prison, so I better pay more attention"?
Putting someone in prison as a means of deterring others from committing crimes is an awful means of preventing crimes, especially when it occurred as a result of an accident.
