OV9

3rd time, last offence over 10 years ago. Crashed car at 1030am and blew over.

Guess the punishment.

12 month ban. Did you get a fine too?

18 month ban, £1k fine.

127years solitary confinement.

Who’s it for?

To be fair, if it’s the 3rd time then they really shouldn’t be driving ever again.

My dad recently got caught for a second time after having a minor crash, the first time was about four years ago. He got a 12 month ban each time and had to retake his test after the first one. Not sure if he got a fine as well, but it seemed too small a punishment IMO. Thankfully he's sold the car now and isn't planning to retake the test to get his license back this time.

ETA: I'd hope that ordinarily it would be more for third time, but as it was ten years after the second occasion I'll guess a 12 month bad and fine.

Whose fault was the accident ? Drunk for the third time *and* at fault ought to get the entire library thrown at them.

No not me Jobson

Pete sorry to hear about your dad.

Accident was only their car involved Steve.

Are you going to tell us the result?

Yes on Monday (leave.. oh wrong thread)

£100 fine and three points.

2 year ban, I think it increases each time but don’t know if the 10 years ago part makes a difference.

Dave!

Depends how much over Shirley?

Oh, is there a vote on the sentence? Life

Death hopefully.

One of my mates got caught (just pulled over, no crash), and he got a year ban and community service. The community service was an eye opener! He met some interesting people.

Shirley a jail sentence is a possibility, a ban (twice) clearly hasnt been a deterrent.

Someone caught 3 times is likely to be a habitual offender in my view.

I know someone who got 6 months inside for a third offence. Definitely less than ten years between offences though, and I think at least one of them was whilst already on a ban. Just been released after doing 3.5 for fraud. He’s a bit of a cunt.

I thought D&D in most cases usually started off at a three year ban then time knocked off for doing the course?

Well I expected they'd get a five year ban but it wasn't as hefty.
