Drivers permit is not a right but a privilege. If you are to stupid to deserve then it should be taken away. Speaking of stupidity. Why did his friends get in a car with a drunk friend instead of removing him from his seat before he took the wheel? Why were they not buckled? I don't want to play devils advocate here but come on. Somewhere in there these kids went running after trouble, it's not all Cadieux's Fault. If the car would have been pulled over before the accident, the non-drivers would have been ticketed for not being buckled-up and being drunk and underaged (if that applies and it should if it doesn't). That said, I still think he should have gotten a whole lot more time. But I wouldn't vulgarly quantify it with mathematics and dead bodies. And I certainly hope that little Bianca won't be the battering ram for every damn argument about car driving incidents. It will diminish the meaning of her life to one moment.
