Two people who were pleaded guilty from causing death by driving dangerously by driving in high speeds and collided and killed a Toronto cab driver will not spend time behind bars. The two men Wang-Piao Dumani Ross and Alexander Ryazanov both at the age of 20 were charged in january 2006 with a criminal negligence in the case involved in an accident killing a cab driver called Tahir Khan just days before he would be set as a canadian citizen.
On tuesday, the the two men were given conditional sentences of two years less a day to be served in the community. They have also been given the penility of Two years probation, 12 months of house arrest, 150 hours of community service, Bans from driving for four years.
Khan, was 46 years old an is an immigrant from Pakistan. During the time he was turning left in an intersection when the Mercedes-Benz driven by Ryazanov struck his vehicle, slamming it into a light pole. Khan died at the scene. Witnesses told the poliece that they saw the two men travelling at speeds of up to 130 and 140 kilometres an hour on a road with a 60 km/h speed limit. From the charges I think that they are given too lighlty to these men and I think they should at least be in jail for 1 or 2 years, pay the price of the accident and also given a monthly speed check for their cars this is because they neglected the safty rules of the streets causing death.

If they were actually at a speed of 130-140 km/hr; which means they were driving uncarefully, I think that they should have received a worst sentence. But if this statement is fake I think that the sentence was just right.
