surely he could get off using the 'Test Drive' defence.
Court-martial, followed by immediate cessation of chocolate rations?
Surely he should have died since speed kills
On the other hand Daniel Nicks (oh the irony) did 175 on a motorbike. He got 6 weeks prison and 2 year ban. Saying that the prisons weren't full
then...

6 months, 3 year ban and fines are now all means based so from the looks of him, maybe 1G up.
Pat ;-)
De bagging followed by two months bent over as a bicycle rack.
Mind you though Thames Valley traffic coppers will go for the throat.

Is there such a thing as a desirable Pauxhall?

So that an Elise, a Holden and another Lotus!
He should have gone for the "perceived threat" defence, Works for cabinet ministers
18 month in prison, 3 year ban. no fine .
going to prison wipes out any finantial penalty..
Depends if they make the aggravated vehicle taking charge stick.
For just the speeding 2 months inside, 5 year ban.
Since you only get 4 months for ineptly attempting to pervert the course of justice
[link] these days I wouldn't expect more.
Magistrates are so random in their punishments though it's all a complete lottery.
This could be a very interesting case as regards to public perception of the dangers of speeding and the whole "speed kills" thing. No one
got at all hurt by the actions of this guy and there were no other consequences, yet he will most likely get a custodial sentence. This at a time when
people who have been found guilty of bodily harm (which obviously implies someone got hurt) and many cases of burglary (which has many consequences
for those burgled) do not get custodial sentences because the prisons are full.
Who would you rather see lose their liberty? I know the answer for me, and I hope that there will be many letters written to MP's etc. if someone
committing a "crime" with no effect on anyone or anything has to take up a prison space meaning a violent thug is left free to walk the
streets.

Traffic incident local to me.
You can kill someone on the roads and get away with a fine. Why should the bloke in the Porsche get more?
I thought the driver in the above link got away extremely lightly.
the driver will be made an example of to try and deter other drivers from driving that fast.i suspect that as he is the fastest car to be caught he
willl do some time. if only the courts could be so tough on called petty criminals!!!!
