Rightly or wrongly the courts are very reluctant to lock up a young person, particularly if that person is female and particularly if that female person has babies - I don't know if that applied in this case.

The loony biker in the other thread passed Go without going to jail as well.

Same charge - dangerous driving - which carries a maximum of two years.

No mention of driving sanctions.

Please someone tell me that the report's missing some details.

The obvious one being the 2 years minimum disqualification and multiple points to follow.

What the hell is wrong with her?

Avery, 20, was also given a 12-month supervision order and banned from driving for three years after she pleaded guilty to driving dangerously.


According to a link clicked on the Beeb's report.

My paramedic daughter was in exactly the same position yesterday, fortunately without the pathetic Avery character. Transferring a cardiac patient between hospitals, he died in the ambulance and was brought back to life 3 times on the journey ending up in coronary care where he survived.

I am inclined to think that if anyone had done that to her, she would have punched the stupid woman's lights out and hang the consequences.....she's very caring !

I thought this took the biscuit as well:

What gets me is that she has her "unpaid work" order rescinded and then gets told she's going to get tagged instead between midnight and 7am (cor, wow!) and then has the audacity to complain...

I'm sure we can think of some appropriate punishment for her, high heels or not!

And they wonder why we have no faith in the justice system!

Maybe the court knew something about her work schedule that we dont! ;)

On the basis she's already got off doing some work already?

Sorry, but that one really gets on my wick... she's not only got off having any sort of meaningful sentence for breaking the law, but now she wants to get away with it altogether... and actually has the brass neck to want to go to appeal... well I hope she does and she gets some official who realises just what a mockery she is making of the law and throws the proverbial book at her...

Perhaps the court should have asked her what she felt would be an appropriate sentence, it would have made life much easier... and can we all do this if we end up in court?

Classic case of "law is an ass"...

Sorry, rant over!!!

In relation to the woman and heels argument.

No different from telling a court in your defence that you were driving at over 150 mph on a Midlands motorway in order to familiarise yourself with the way a new vehicle handled ........

She got punished and then got off the punishment with something lesser because of some rather tenuous reason... I see no connection with that story and the one you mention, MrX, perhaps you could enlighten me?

b308 - this tagging in no inconveneince at all. I have a distand relative who was tagged from 12 mid-day to 3 am! 15 hours freedom including times when all pubs and clubs are open - Hard to bear!

Exactly, thats what I was meaning, AS, yet she is considering appealing it... as the thread title says, "Just when you think you've heard it all"!

Occasionally Mr X I warm to your arguments and then you blow it.

Why?

I can't speak for Mr X, but it does seem to me that the heels excuse and the handling excuse are each about as credible as the other.

What the excuses have in common is that excuses are what they sound like, rather than reasons.

"I broke no rules" is topical and rather in the same area of an excuse warranting a response of "yeah, right".

"She was banned from driving for three years and will have to retake a test to get her licence back"

The last bit's a plus point, too.

Having been in an emergency ambulance in France(I was the one being taken to A&E)there are just as many useless drivers over there;OK this person seemed to do it on purpose but over there-bright red ambulance,four big blue lights-one on each corner on the top and two-tone horns and did people get out of the way?-no-not even the professionals.

jc2, this wasn't just once but several times over, I believe from reports, some five miles. It also included rude gestures from both the passenger and the driver.
I wonder what would have happened if she had had an accident caused by her shenanigans and needed help - would she have screamed about her 'uman rites to get fast response?
