Given that it's almost a year since the killing i'm guessing he's been charged because the CPS beleive there is enough evidence to secure a conviction which is a good thing but I wonder already how laughably lenient his sentence will be.
They should throw the book at him just on the fact he was driving without insurance and some action should be taken against the company that was employing him because that's disgusting for an HGV to be driven under those circumstances. Would be interested to know what the 'licence offence' is, does that mean he didn't have a licence?

The CPS can only start proceedings if there is sufficient evidence to have a good chance of conviction AND a prosecution is in the public interest. It's normal for a company to be prosecuted if an employee is prosecuted for alleged licensing and insurance offences using a company vehicle on the company's business. There are various driving licence offences, of which not having a licence is only one.
As it's going to court, prejudicial discussion may not be helpful.
