Driver described as "otherwise decent individual" spared jail after ramming cyclist off the road - road.cc

His lawyer also told the court Laher was “otherwise a very decent individual” whose business, an IT consultancy and distributor would become “unviable” if he received a custodial sentence.

“That would affect not just him but his employees as well […] his business is everything to him. It is everything to a lot of other people as well.”

So if you own a business in the UK you can basically commit any crime and go unpunished as being charged would affect your "employees".
