If the four year and ten months driving ban started after he was released from prison (and after passing another driving test), that would make some sense - but I doubt the legal system's got that much sense.
There's no point in a driving ban whilst he is in prison, when he won't be driving anyway.
I'm sure I have seen instances where the judge has stated that the driving ban will start after release from prison. It does seem odd that in this case the ban exactly matches the prison term.

I’m sure that a driving ban starts after the jail term otherwise what’s the sodding point. No doubt someone on here will be able to enlighten us on this point.

This an appalling and thankfully extreme case. However, road rage in its many forms appears to be getting worse. I assume this is a consequence of the roads getting busier and busier, frequent delays caused by roadworks, flooding, potholes, under investment etc which causes build up of frustration and loss of tolerance. I’m not defending road rage in any way, but as with most crimes we need to look at the causes of the problem if the problem is to be reduced.
In the meantime extreme examples like this should be treated severely.

What an absolute weapons grade see you next Tuesday!


The idea that an extended driving test, is somehow going to rehabilitate people like this is laughable.

The police need the powers to impose driving bans pending trial and courts need the power to issue lifelong driving bans.

Legislation on sentencing needs another uplift. This cnt through his various voluntary and selfish actions snuffed out an innocent life, a family somewhere are destroyed for the rest of their lives.

He’ll be out in 6.

One day there won’t be an inherent copout that driving isn’t tantamount to other forms of taking a life.
