Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.

A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not

is it involuntary if you drive at 120kmh in a 50kmh zone ?

Exactly. That’s like saying firing a gun into crowded theater and killing people is “involuntary manslaughter.”
