It doesn't have to be a similar offence, any criminal offence is enough.Didn’t think it would impact on his suspended sentence. Not really similar offences are they though I haven’t a clue how the law works in this instance?
So, if he's convicted of this offence the matter is then sent back to the circuit court so that Judge can decide whether or not to activate the suspended sentence.
Generally a minor road traffic offence wouldn't be enough, but dangerous driving is a serious enough offence.
Given that, and given that the climate around suspended sentences has changed recently, and that any jail time won't now impact the drive for 5, if I was acting for him I'd be nervous.
Let's just say I'd be getting him to bring a bag to court ?
