I would make a bet that just about everyone on this site has, at some point, done something equally as reckless involving a shopping trolley and a load of p***ed mates.

yup!

 

Only once though because we was a tad forceful and my mate ended up sailing into the road before we could catch up to stop him. Luckily, no traffic but sobered us up a bit quick!

When I lived in the Netherlands we had a race up one of the main streets in The Hague with two people in the trolley and one pushing. It was GB v NED and we won. They disagreed but we asked a policeman who was watching the whole thing and he agreed that we had won. I love the Netherlands!

What a joke, 2 years ban? Drink drivers get less than that, so do rapists, so do paedophiles

Paedophiles and rapists get less than a 2 year driving ban?

 

Always someone trying to be a smart a*se isn't there. I'm talking along the lines of punishment for the offence. Some rapists get just a couple of years yet they have destroyed a person's life! Paedophiles who view illegal images get nothing more than community service or at most a years spell in the nick!

A 2 year driving ban is IN NO WAY comparable to a 2 year custodial sentence.

The comparison just doesn't make any sense at all! That's why I questioned it.

How is (in your eyes) a 1 year custodial sentence worth "less" than a 2 year driving ban?

This happened on private land not a public highway, how can they be prosecuted at all?

A carpark isn't deemed as private land if the public are deemed to have reasonable access to it, the laws of the road still apply

It's called the 'Road Traffic Act' not the 'Public Highway Traffic Act'. This is what all the muppets who go racing in the B&Q car park are always surprised by too. Look up the legal definition of a road.

I'm not even arguing, the 2 year ban is way out of proportion for the so called 'crime'. Judges need to give their heads a shake and wake up. Nobody was hurt, although something could have gone wrong, it didn't. A sobering fine and a few points would have been fit punishment. Not too soft and not too harsh, just like what they did, not very clever but nobody was hurt!

if they get a custodial sentence then it's almost the same as a ban i suppose??
