So, had Tex O'Brian actually been convicted of doing 173mph he would have got two years in prison, at the taxpayers expense.
What's the sense in that?
To teach him a lesson and deter others. Thats the point of a custodial sentence. To lock away those that pose a threat and break the rules to such an extent. Because believe me, he wont be deterred by this outcome, in my opinion.
Remember. It probably wasn't the first time he did this, it was the first time he was caught.
