It sounds like the suspension of the prison term isn't a special case, and he also can't drive for 3 years. I don't think this is especially favoritism for drivers over cyclists. Sounds like a normal accident with a reasonable sentence for that country for an accidental death

Wade was handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. He was also banned from driving for three years and ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid community work.

Noting that the incident did not involve alcohol, drugs, phone use, or racing, judge Nadim explained that, following Wade’s early guilty plea, the appropriate prison term was 10 months. However, new sentencing guidelines meant that any jail time under 12 months would result in a suspended sentence, “unless there were exceptional circumstances”.
