A judge told a man "you are going to get yourself killed" after hearing how he drove dangerously through Huthwaite.
...you should be concerned with
the innocent people that might be hurt or killed by this menace.
Judge Sally Hancox addressed Jack Askew as she sentenced him for dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified, having no insurance, failing to stop and handling stolen goods.
She told him: "The reality of this case is, yet again, you are behind the wheel of a car when you shouldn't be and you are driving like an idiot".
So you've done your duty and made the streets safe from this menace, yes?
She gave him a total of 21 months in prison, suspended for two years, and a two-year driving ban.
He must attend a "thinking skills programme" and complete 20 rehabilitation activity days.
*sighs*
While incarceration would keep the bastard off the streets for a while, a bloody good kicking administered by his victims' or their representatives, alternating with tasering, might be a better way of assuring better behaviour in future.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for the perpetrator, well, he deserves an even more draconian punishment than the judge.
Can someone explain to me what rehabilitation activity days are? They sound rather fun.
ReplyDeleteAlready banned, so a driving ban and a suspended sentence is sure to stop him driving.

ReplyDeleteHeh!
"Can someone explain to me what rehabilitation activity days are?"
A sinecure for ex-public servants who devise and deliver them (at vast expense)...
"Already banned, so a driving ban and a suspended sentence is sure to stop him driving."
Indeed! 'Siri, show me an exercise in futility...'
