Albeit a silly thing to try to accomplish, I think the following statement by the arresting officer all-together slightly harsh, if not downright insulting!

---"Mr Aziz was fully aware of his disabilities and we find the driver was in a dangerous, defective state," he said.---

Ciao.

Totally agree,
How dare the officer insult this poor individual. No doubt the driver will be traumatised by this remark and will need years of counselling. The police officer should be sacked for using such derogatory remarks.

[BTB 500]

The police officer did not make that remark it was the chairman of the bench.
I think the case was fully justified.

Correct!

I also like the statement from one of the constables (as reported):

Pc Edge said: "I asked him if he could see me. He removed the dark-coloured sunglasses he was wearing and I could clearly see he was blind as he had no eyes."

You can't argue with that (as reported)!

Will he be deported after serving his sentence?

 

[Flasheart]

Will he be deported after serving his sentence?

What a odd remark to make. Where in that report does it say he is:-

a) an illegal immigrant
b) awaiting asylum
c) not been awarded citizenship
d) etc

Surely, the offence is driving without due care and attention, not necessarilly dangerous driving

Perhaps , once the dangers he presented to other road users have been pointed out to him , he will see the light and keep to the straight and narrow in future ...

Eyed like to agree but that might not be politically correct?
