Sentencing guidlines

Convicted Driver Insurance
A normal person with a breath reading that high should have been facing a 23-28 month ban with a low-high level community order.

One set of rules for the public and another for the police.

That would be the case if the offence was in England or Wales, but in Scotland they do not have the same sentencing guidelines, just the minimum 12 months. Above that is at the discretion of the court, not the sentencing brackets that we have.

I venture to suggest that a ‘normal person’ seen arriving at their workplace by colleagues after drinking would probably not find themselves reported to the police in the first place, so there would be no ban........
