3 Young Lives Just Wasted

Since driving bans are just ignored by this type, the penalty for driving while banned should be one which prevents him doing it again, i.e. lock him up. And since such folk seem congenitally incapable of handling a car safely (21 convictions), the ban should be permanent.

From the link, "Shane Loughlin from Rumney, Cardiff, appeared at the city's magistrates' court on Tuesday, pleading guilty to charges of dangerous driving, and driving while disqualified, on the M4 on 3 March, 2023.
The car crashed in St Mellons, Cardiff, later that night, killing three people.
***The charges are not related to the collision, police said.***" [emphasis added]
He was not responsible for the three folk who died in a subsequent crash.

Bit difficult really, for any length of time (at least with the charges he currently faces).
The maximum sentence for dangerous driving is two years. If he pleads guilty he is entitled to a one third discount, so the maximum is 16 months. Virtually all prisoners receiving a definitive sentence are released unconditionally after serving half of their sentence. As well as that, all those (bar one or two exceptions which do not apply here) who are sentenced to between three months and four years become eligible for "Home Detention Curfew". Those sentenced to 720 days or less are eligible for release after serving one quarter of their sentence.
So...in the very unlikely event that this creature is sentenced to the maximum available (which is indeed very unlikely) the longest period he will spend inside is four months. In reality it will be considerably less than that.

I watch a lot of police docuseries and a large number of drivers they stop for driving erratically etc are already banned from driving, have already been fined for drug or drink driving and don't care a bit. They aren't all youngsters either and a few are female. Most are convinced they are safe drivers even when over the limit and blatantly not.
