A judge sentenced Miley Connors, aged 37, of Scant Road East, Hambrook, West Sussex, to two years in prison, suspended for two years, at Oxford Crown Court on Friday (12/4).

So basically sentenced to nothing but a driving test.

[@sleeping_sheep_slayer_9000]

woke liberal british justice system is a joke

[@AA-pi2dz]

Guess what? They don’t go to prison for this appalling driving. Ludicrous driving. Ludicrous justice.

[@paulmcmillan533]

Prisons are full. Grapests are even getting suspended sentences now.

[@prideofdurham4776]

Judge needs to be suspended too...by the ballsacks.

[@allancale9441]

The law in this country is a joke !

[@Sgt_Bill_T_Co]

Becuase we all vote for lower taxes leading to no cash for extra prison places.

[@MrPat156]

Suspended sentence……what a joke

[@Unitedflyier]

Shouldn't be a suspended sentence.

[@stuartwood5448]

How about 5 years in prison and banned for life!!

[@Madonnalitta1]

Jeez, does he have to kill someone before the law will do anything?

[@roxximusik8958]

This abrogation of suitable justice is an affront to decent society, and must be quite corrosive to police officer morale.

[@user-cm8en8or1p]

Good job he didn't put up edgy stickers ... he'd get 2 years.

[@GilbertdeClare0704]

or if he had misgendered the arresting Officers

[@klackon1]

A suspended sentence! The judge should be sacked and that part of their pension paid from the public purse withheld.

[@Hathur]

Don't blame the judge. Blame the judges BEFORE him. The UK, like most of the western world, uses the Rule of Precedent in criminal justice... meaning sentences for similar crimes are based on what has been pre-established in the past. So thank the judges from the past few decades that gradually weened sentencing down more and more, establishing precedence of leniency for current judges to have to follow.

[@darrenwilliams118]

The government has told the judiciary to reduce the number of people sent to prison to reduce costs. Don't blame the judges blame the people in charge.

[@richardcummins5465]

Absolutely no law and order left in Britain. WHAT A DISGRACE!

Suspended sentence, is that a joke ?

The sentence had to be suspended, the prisons are already full of "Hurty Words Offenders".

If he'd defrauded the taxman for £5000, he'd have got 2 years, guaranteed

Unbelievable A suspended sentence 😢 The cops must wonder why the F they bother 👹

There is no justice in the UK. Lot's of Lawyers, Judges and Police being paid from public funds.But no justice. What a disgrace.

[@christopherbentley5216]

The driver should be locked away for 10 years minimum, to protect law abiding motorists,in the future.

[@yazman75]

Got away with it. Endangering his childs life & of several drivers on the motorway & wreckless driving on the motorway. Drink driving. Only a lengthy custodial sentence for that. Takes the piss! . Others get punished more for a lot less !.

[@anonnona8099]

2 years isn't long enough - should be 20. And not suspended. WAKE UP EVERYBODY! There is *no such thing* as a "war on motorists", what there is is an obscene tolerance for motoring crimes.

[@DavidSmith-ze2wi]

If he'd gone through a speed scamera and refused to incriminate himself THEN you'd have seen a savage sentence. Money money money.

[@BethzeidaJohnson]

The police should appeal this sentence.

[@RomanesEuntDomus.]

Two year suspended jail term! Now that'll teach him!!! 😂😂

[@katiechesire9915]

D.U.I., wreckless endangerment, speeding, using hard-shoulder, damage to other cars, failing to stop after an accident, leaving the scene....there's a hundred things to charge this loony with. Tot them up and he should only get out of the clink when he gets his pension. Then sack the judge.

[@trevor1933]

Thank goodness no one got injured or killed . I hope the boy is OK and the driver gets the medical and professional help and makes a 100% recovery . A biig thumbs up to all that came to help out . 👍👍
