Massive cock-up in the Metro daily email today where they say the sentence was eight years. Oops!
Were you having a bad morning or something? Do you think you can ever forgive me? Are you a frustrated LD?
In the big scheme of things speeding is a minor infringement. Speaking as someone who has racked up a couple of three pointers in the past, I would say that getting caught is less of a minor infringement. If you haven't noticed a speed camera or a patrol car, what else have you failed to notice ? A child stepping off the pavement maybe ?
The 12 point system gives people EVERY opportunity in my view, several warnings and then you have a choice. You either never break the speed limit until your points are expunged, or you risk losing your privilege to drive a car. It should never be viewed as a right. A nutter in charge of several tons of turbo charged metal is a far greater danger to society, than a couple of doughnuts with a gemmy and swag bag, as irritating as these low lifes are.
As for perverting the course of justice, you can choose to view this as a white collar crime, but that completely undermines the legal process, if you accept it is okay to lie under oath. Eight months apiece seems reasonable to me.

I believe you. not sure I believe the criminals that you know, could it be that they're trying to "big up" their crimes and brag about getting off lightly ?

And that's a key point - people lie under oath all the time in court saying they didn't do this or didn't do that. Yes he was an idiot for the way he handled it but it's a speeding offence - not the Great Train Robbery and IMHO the whole sentancing system is out of kilter with either disproportionately high or low sentances.

It seems to be in line with sentencing guidelines and I just think its a harsh sentence whoever commited the crime. At the end of the day who got hurt! He is an idiot who made the wrong decision right up until the very last minute when he decided to plead guilty, I would also have no problem with him paying the cost of the prosecution.
