German street racers who killed cyclist ordered to stand retrial

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) was happy with every part of the original judgement but the sentencing. So there won't be a retrial in Cologne, just resentencing. Could have been explained better in the Local. There's a better account in German here:

As a cyclist/cycling lobbyist based in Germany, I generally find drivers here  fairly good and courteous.  30 km/h zones could be expanded, but many cities are already somewhere around 80%. I've never bothered getting a camera because I really don't have that many scary incidents. I get annoyed sometimes by drivers tailgating - but if they're tailgating, they typically are in a position to overtake dangerously and have just about managed to stop themselves from doing so. 

BUT the road safety establishment here is still firmly in the dark ages in some respects, and so are prosecutors and local authorities (the latter are responsible for minor traffic/parking offences). Fines for parking in cycle lanes etc. are ridiculously low. The gospel of @trafficwmp hasn't made it over here properly yet.  There is still too much victim blaming crap. And the training for cyclists which is available is often a bit rubbish, with excessive emphasis on keeping right and not enough emphasis on clear road positioning. 

While awareness that motor vehicles are weapons is slowly growing, there is still an unfortunate trend to distinguish between "bad" people who are deliberately doing stupid, dangerous things like having a race on public roads and "ordinary" people who are "only" speeding.

Change is coming but it will take a while to percolate down.

Hopefully some sense will prevail and they both get a prison sentence and their lives destroyed. Ggermany has form on not prosecuting dangerous driving from what I've being told/read.
