Driving Standards

Very little. Are you sure it's 4 years inside and then the ban as opposed to running concurrently?
Even so, I still think that is worthy of a much longer ban.

His sentence is 8 years, unless he behaves very badly he'll be out in four. Driving bans now start on the day you are released from the nick, until relatively recently they started they day they were given, leading to some bans expiring before the person had come out of prison, so proper chocolate teapots.
 
A motorist struck a car in front at a “staggering” 143mph to send it spinning into a tunnel wall, killing its driver.


I was chatting on here recently about that stretch of road, worst driving I've ever seen, loads of dickheads use it as a racetrack at any time of the day.

That prick should be sent down for a very long time.
 
This is an interesting one, she denied death by careless driving, but the jury found her guilty. Suspended sentence and a 12 month driving ban.

More interesting is why they tried to prosecute the second driver if they believed that the fault lay with the first.
 
Just 6 points and a meagre £200 for using your phone while driving. It will barely affect drivers of company cars :facepalm:

That's been the penalty for ages. All that's changed is that it will now also apply to handling the phone for any use, not just for texting or speaking, as is the case currently. Six points is quite a hefty disincentive. No idea what you mean by company car drivers not being affected. :confused:
 
Company car drivers dont have to worry about insurance, they are normally on a corporate policy. If I got points my premiums would rocket....
 
They have to worry about losing their licences though. It's a daft argument. You may as well say that company car drivers are 'barely affected' by any penalty that involves licence points.
