Penalised driver complains....

The article says "Video footage from a passing cars’ dashcam was sent to police and he was later cautioned and also lost his licence for three years."

I'm pretty sure you can't be prosecuted for an action once you've admitted a caution - unless it is like a suspended sentence? I.e. it seems reasonable that doing the same thing again would be grounds for nullifying the caution.

"He was taken to court and given a two year banning order for dangerous driving. He was then given another year because he sped in his first week of returning to the roads."

Okay, so not a three year ban then. And probably not for dangerous driving, more likely for careless driving (because we all know how rare dangerous driving prosecutions are (it would have had to have been really bad for the CPS to prosecute and then be sucessfully prosecuted)). So in all likelihood he probably accrued points for other offences which he's neglected to mention, then been probably. The ban was two years so probably not his first ban under the totting up scheme.

"He claims he has to drive for his job"

So he probably didn't serve the first two bans (which would have probably been 6 and 12 months) due to claimed undue hardship, 3rd time round the judge was having none of it. His fourth ban, for 12 months, probably came 3 years after the first two bans so they had expired, hence it was only 12 months.

I'm guessing he's probably accrued 20+ points in his driving 'career' for speeding, careless driving and probably mobile phone use. And he probably still sees himself as a victim. The only surprise was that he was caught speeding a week after getting his licence back, and not at some point whilst he was banned - I suppose that whilst he was banned, he probably wasn't driving a vehicle that was registered to him.

Not the sharpest driver on the planet when he thinks he shouldn't have been banned but just given 6 points for both offences...and I suspect he already had accumulated points at that stage.

Clueless twunt.

Speeding and "the man claims he didn’t actually see the woman before, after or during the event he was later banned because of".

Considering that the main evidence was dash-cam footage (from a passing car) I fail to see how he can dispute it. If he's unable to recognise the danger he created, then maybe he needs a much longer driving ban - put him on a bike and let him learn some roadcraft before allowing him back in charge of tonnes of speeding death metal.

On that evidence, I think his liscensce should be confiscated indefinitely, as he's clearly demonstrated that he has no idea of what an acceptable standard of driving is, and therefore isn't a fit person to be in charge of a motor vehicle.

I was just reading that!  What a snivelling little shit he is.  More proof, if any were needed, of how badly some treat driving.  He admits to speeding and still thinks the punishment was unfair.  Mind you, this level of punishment should be handed out more frequently, then people might start to drive properly.
