[2012] EWCA Crim 1420

It was appropriate to disqualify an offender from driving as an additional punishment to a term of imprisonment following his guilty plea to an offence of conspiracy to steal, where the theft involved motor vehicles to a considerable value, even though he had not been involved in driving the transporter used to remove the stolen vehicles. However, the period of five years' disqualification was excessive and it was reduced to three years.
