thanks for that.
anyone else think the punishment was harsher than most joyriders without a licence get?
Do you not think that he, or his female accomplice driving the car, could easily have injured innocents nearby?
I do agree, though, that 'sentences' handed down to joyriders are a positive encouragement for them to repeat offend.
yes I agree that she did was dangerous, but on a scale, probably no more than 25mph. but she was fined £1000 and banned for 2 years (which will affect her as she works and pays insurance etc)
then compare it to these two sisters who led police on a 90mph chase through urban streets, both drunk, until they crashed. neither of them have a licence. their punishment? a driving ban(!), and pay £250 each. ban won't affect them because they were effectively 'already banned' from driving as they don't have a licence.
