This is a horrible thing to happen, should be an example of why the courts/ sentencing system needs overhauling, offender has previously been 'through the courts' for neigh on the same offense numerous times. Shows that disqualification from driving is not enough, these folk will just do as they please regardless, courts need given more teeth.
Currently in a small Scottish town where far too many folk D+D, all of them have been through the courts, most of them are stuck on the limit of 12 points but haven't had a suspension as 'need my car for x' excuse comes into play. License to operate heavy machinery should be treated as a privilege and not an entitlement.

"The court heard Balcazar Soto has four previous convictions for 10 offences, including drink driving and two counts of driving whilst disqualified within 10 days of one another."
How those two offences don't get someone locked up, the mind boggles.
