Tom would have in all likelyness not have hit the child if he was drinking. He didnt do a huge swerve unto somebodies property, but the kid was driving his bike on the road and in full view. Tom made a misjudgment because he was drunk.
"Affluence of inkahol" is a spoonerism Cosmic. Soemthing someone would likely do if they'd had a few too many.
Funny.
Joke.
Ha ha.
Fuck it.
Anyway, given those circumstances I would charge him with causing a death through careless driving whilst under the influence of alcohol (assuming I was doing it by UK laws). And no, his career would not count as a mitigating circumstance in this case. He knew the risks, he was a highly trained and switched on individual and he did it anyway.
