This is truly horrific.

Banned from driving for just 8 years after release? That's insanity for someone with a proven track record of not giving a monkeys about public safety, they should never be behind the wheel again.

11 years.

Not life? That just reserved for cyclists?

he'll serve a maximum of half that. then have an expedited time to get his licence back. but he'll be back on the road before that because the police/probation service don't care once these monsters are out.

Police/CPS/judicial system need holding accountablefor not getting menaces like this off the road before they kill.

Should be a lifetime driving ban.
