The 34-year-old, of Kempston in Bedford, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.The court heard he was behind the wheel of an Audi S4 in Bromham Road, which has a 30mph limit.The car suddenly veered across the road at speed into the opposite carriageway before mounting the kerb and striking a street sign.
After the collision, the Audi continued along the pavement then veered back into the road before crashing into a wall outside The Bedford Sixth Form at about 12:30 GMT.Judge Michael Simon heard Campbell got out of the car and threw an empty canister of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. into a bush before returning to where the men laid.
Mr Manning and Mr Varney would not have thought for a moment their lives would have been bought to such a sudden end when they went walking along the pavement of Bromham Road that day," the judge said.
