A friend of mine got 4 yr ban and 10 month jail for dangerous driving about 5 years ago
3 days after his test driving – took a corner too fast clipped a car going the other way and that crashed into the one following him. A little girl had her arm amputated and was left in a messed up way.
It was tragic all round – complete result of inexperience. He is now the slowest driver you could imagine, stops after 1 hr on the road for a break. the jail sentence achieved nothing at all and the judge actually said it was because he worked for his fathers building company and the sentence wouldn't effect employment prospects. He could have been building bush shelters or fitting kitchens into old peoples homes.
In this case I dont think the 2 yr ban is enough but i dont see the benefit of a custodial sentence.
