What??? 200 Eur? Driving suspension for 15 days?

"The accused ....... was fined €200 and had her driving licence suspended for 15 days." Is that all? Is that really commensurate with Caruana's misdeed, which consisting of "causing grievous injuries" to a cyclist whilst "driving her BMW in a dangerous and negligent manner" ? What a joke our law courts are!

€200 and 15 days suspended license for causing grievous injuries? This is just ridiculous. She should have her license totally revoked, and given the chance to apply for the test after at least one year. I fear the colour of the cyclist's skin may have something to do with this judgement. Maybe the judge considers his life is worth less then others?
