• Does the driving ban run concurrently with the sentence, or does it come into effect when he's released?

  • I’d presume once released.
    I also presume the reason for seemingly short bans is to keep dangerous drivers within the system so to speak and less likely to drive without insurance etc.
    That may be wishful thinking admittedly

  • You’re reasoning re. The ban is sound. I think it came from the EU that a ban should give the person something to aim for. Lifetime ban means they will drive really.

    I don’t believe the sentence was severe enough - giving his conduct after the accident and during interview. No remorse means I give him fuck all remorse if he got 10 years custodial.
