[2001] EWCA Crim 174

Whilst a sentence of 20 months' imprisonment for an offence of dangerous driving was described as severe, it was not manifestly excessive or wrong in principle given the judge's conclusion that, short of a police chase and a multiple pile-up where alcohol was a factor, it was hard to imagine a more serious situation than that depicted in the present case.
