Waqas Arshad, 24, of Bedfordshire, escaped the Citroen C4 after he ploughed into a tree in November last year but 17-year-old Emily Brady perished in the blaze.
Emily Brady was left to burn to death by her boyfriend after he crashed his car.
Arshad was jailed for six years at Luton Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to causing death by careless driving while over the prescribed alcohol limit and causing death by driving while uninsured.
The court heard Arshad, of Sherd Close, Luton, was roughly twice the drink-drive limit at the time of the crash on November 2.
His car left Steppingley Road in Eversholt at a sweeping bend in wet conditions, ploughed into a tree and ending up in a field.
WTH? . . .drunk driving with minor and uninsured, and intentionally deceived all to believe he had no passenger, insuring her horrific demise gets only 6 years?
Early release? Damn it, this case should be revisited for unbelievably lax sentencing. Where is the justice in this case? The fiend is guilty of drinking 2x over the limit, driving without insurance, AND obstructing rescue efforts. His brother should be in an adjacent cell serving life as he aided and abetted in Emily’s intention murder. Intentional obstruction – in and of itself – should result with life imprisonment or death by choice of Emily’s mum.
I feel sick to my stomach listening to the story of that poor distraught woman
I hope they succeed in keeping the animal in jail.

The good Rabbi did not hold back, he was on point, however harsh, the truth was delivered.
I’d say that now this has been brought to the atttention of the EDL, things will change
I say lock him up and throw away the key. I also say “Bring back the death pemalty”
