[@jimmyj9609]

That Zax was ruthless, killed his mate and didn't have the balls to man up and admit it and take responsibility for it. 8 years is nothing compared to the lad that lost his life. At the same time the driver should never have let him drive his car, especially at night when it's dark. A real sad incident for all concerned. Cars are weapons, so many life's lost because of them. My cousins wife got hit by a drink driver years ago and died instantly, her young lad at the time got his legs mashed but survived. Again a very sad incident.

[@Dagr8soldjer]

Jimmy Young you have to have night time driving lessons to get used to driving at night and many learners opt to have night time driving lessons. The issue is that zax has drank 7-8 pints and was driving without due care and attention without insurance, L plates or a license.

In the right car you could easily hit 150 down there and not even worry about it.

[@YodaOnDMT]

What was the other guy specifically found guilty of? Aiding and Abetting? Perverting The Course Of Justice? I presume allowing an unlicensed driver without having 'L' plates isn't going to get you six years and he might not have known his cousin was drunk.

[@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy]

It will be for allowing his cousin to drive the car. They said in the video the cousin said something like 'Let me drive, give me a lesson'. If he was unlicensed and unqualified the driver has committed an offence by knowingly letting him drive regardless if he knew he was drunk or not. The six years is more than likely because it resulted in a death. That's down partly to his actions, meaning he's partly responsible.

[@YodaOnDMT]

@@FunkyMonkey-ip4xy That makes sense.

[@katieholliday6190]

Probably a combination of lying to the police, allowing his mate to drive the car without a licence and in the uk you're only allowed to be a passenger for a learner driver if you are over 21 and held a full licence for 3 years

If it was a genuine accident, and the person who died was an adult who was well aware of the dangers of riding in a vehicle; then what good does sending someone to prison do? What lesson is supposed to be learned? Don't accidentally lose control of your vehicle?

[@aishakhankhara1724]

People know that their are consequences to their actions but sometimes untill they dont feel the consequences they will carry on doing the same thing. I think the sentencing in this country is joke and they need to toughen it up. Our country needs to stop sugar counting the youth and teach them some hard responsibility. They have it too easy now

Just watched this on Netflix.... I knew something wasnt right with Zax, he was way too calm and cocky on his first interview even if i wasnt involved no one would be that calm in response to an accident involving his friends, and for him to only get 8 years in the end is disgusting... Over here in the UK our legal system is a joke, but i was expecting somewhere over 10-15 years at the very least. But i guess its because hes a young white boy who the judge believed once he comes out he will learn from his mistakes 🙄 I felt bad for Dannylee in the end, he was traumatised and clearly regrets his decision to let Zax drive, you could tell he would never let anything like that happen again and he didnt make the investigation difficult, he told the truth from the beginning. Zax is a dangerous psychopath. He fled the scene, left his friends to die, didnt call for emergency services, went home to sleep, and then lied to police repeatedly, all he cares about his himself is all i saw. What a terrible person, who needed alot more time inside.

[@charlotterosephoenix]

The car was being driven at speed, in the dark, by one of two people who BOTH only had provisional driving licences and people were drunk. The car wasn't driven legally AT ALL that night. Having foreign plates also means it was probably LHD, which these kids had likely never experienced.
