UPDATED: 09:53 EST, 24 April 2013 A Manchester City babe who had been jailed for causing a collision that killed a brother and a cousin will appear in a television show tonight concerning the problems facing young people. Courtney Meppen-Walter, 18, was given an sentence in February after he accepted two counts of causing death by reckless driving. His Mercedes was going at almost twice the 30mph speed limit when it ploughed right into a familyas Nissan Micra, in Manchester. Jailed: Courtney Meppen-Walter was sentenced to 16 months in jail The accident, last September, killed father-of-two Kulwant Singh, 32, from Salford, and his cousin Ravel Kaur, 37, from Manchester. Ravel Kauras two kids, Amjit, 17, and Harveen, 16, who were in back of the Micra were severely wounded but have since made a great recovery. Meppen-Walter was surveyed for the BBC3 show Licence to Kill, which examines the high mortality and damage rate of young individuals. Speaker Sophie Morgan, who was left in a wheelchair carrying out a accident, said an overhaul of the driving test was needed to prevent more accidents. She said: aOne in five people accident within the very first half a year. Itas terrible, positively terrible. aClearly some thing must be looked at and among the concerns Iave been asking and considering is whether the driving examination is fit for purpose really.a Big time? Courtney Meppen-Walter is on the guides of Manchester City Birmingham Crown Court noticed how Meppen-Walter, whoas captained the England under-18 team, and a buddy in a VW Golf were identified operating within an aerratica manner. The pair seemed to be aplaying gamesa and both cars were observed aconstantly accelerating and slowing downa. Police originally examined if the match have been rushing before as a type of inquiry dismissing it. It also emerged that Meppen-Walter had been given a speeding confidence only 6 months prior to the fatal crash and his solicitor admitted the playeras alack of operating experiencea had been a substantial factor. But Jailing Meppen-Walter for 16 months and handing him a three year driving bar, judge Martin Steiger QC said he was pleased the defendantas speeding was anot an isolated acta but an featurea of his driving. Licence To Kill is likely to be shown tonight (Wednesday) on BBC3 at 9pm and 12.30am.
