[2008] EWCA Crim 336

In sentencing a young offender to 13 months' detention following a guilty plea to a single count of dangerous driving, the judge had been right to take into consideration the serious consequences of the dangerous driving even though the criminality of the driving itself was at the lower end of the scale. However, the sentence was out of line with relevant authorities and a period of detention of eight months was substituted.
