Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Failing to provide roadside breath test
Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Too much time with Parlour and Brazil on Talk Sport. They are constantly on the pop.

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
That’s rather harsh, it’s normally just a 12 month ban.

District Judge Nicholas Sanders told him: "Throughout these proceedings you have shown yourself to be arrogant, thinking you are someone whose previous and current role in the public eye entitles you to be above the law.

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
A maximum sentence of six months can be carried if a person fails to provide a specimen for analysis when told to do so by police officers. So seems like he got off fairly lightly with 10 weeks.

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Hardly harsh.
Sounds about right to me but could have got longer bird. There is absolutely no excuse for drinking and driving these days. There is no excuse for refusing a test either. Add that to it being someone with more money than sense, what is wrong with getting an Uber. Absolute disgrace and should have got the full 6 months imo

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
The comments from the judge is exactly why the Judicial system in this country is pathetic.
Because he is in the public eye means he should expect a "deterrent sentence"?
What about the burglars, thieves and idiots who are constantly before the bench, but who receive no such custodial sentance? Surely a sentence to deter them from committing crime, and making the lives a misery of members of the public should also be imposed?
** By no means am I arguing the case of Saunders, drink driving is abhorrent, and if you play with feathers, you get you're arse tickled.

Dont like him and think anyone caught drink driving should have the book thriwn at them. But how does he get 10 weeks and Trevor Sinclair gets away with it and much worse after being arrested?

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
While we are on about drink driving. Outright bans should be given to those who have three DD convictions. I'd also give out lifetime bans to those on their second DD offence if they were excessively over the limit.

Saunders says he only had two pints. So why didn't he comply with the breath test? We know, don't we and so did the judge.

Six month jail for that offence isn’t long enough. Especially if that means 15 pints or 2 pints is the same maximum punishment.
Driving on a phone is a much bigger issue though. Can’t believe how common it is.

6m is too lenient.

Someone nearly wiped me out the other week. They were on the wrong side of the road while jabbering on a mobile phone. The law is too lenient.

Insane refusing a breath test unless he thought he’d be below a couple of hours later when they offer blood test ?

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Is the punishment too lenient? Maybe. The person who wrote my car off, was well over the limit and could hardly stand up, received a ban and small fine.
Surely that is worse that failure to provide? Why no jail term? Why isn’t there a consistency in sentencing?

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
The point is that failure to provide has to be a worse punishment than drink driving otherwise everyone would refuse to give a sample and take the lesser punishment.Claretforever wrote:Is the punishment too lenient?

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
I think the point may be that most burglars and petty thieves don't normally do physical harm whereas drink driving can cause death, and usually to someone other than the drunk. Not defending burglars (far from it) but I do believe drink driving is far more dangerous and therefore should be treated as such.ClaretFelix wrote:The comments from the judge is exactly why the Judicial system in this country is pathetic.

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Judges have said many times that a car, can be said to be a lethal weapon particularly when the driver has been drinking. If someone whilst under the influence of drink or drugs ran around with a knife in his hand, you would expect him to be arrested, charged and possibly be imprisoned. Drink driving kills or badly injures people and drivers take a chance of not being caught. I've absolutely no sympathy for anyone who gets behind the wheel of a car when they have been drinking - in this case I think the District Judge was right in his sentencing of Saunders.houseboy wrote:I think the point may be that most burglars and petty thieves don't normally do physical harm whereas drink driving can cause death, and usually to someone other than the drunk.

I prefer my own story about him, how he ripped off a non-league club for £750 back in 1982 when they were desperate for money. I've never told it at a dinner though but I was there and he did have his green top on.agreenwood wrote:The story at the link?

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
How can you tell when someone isn’t excessively over the limit if they don’t provide samples? Failing to provide a breath specimen and/or blood or urine sample is a legislated 12 month ban, as there isn’t any actual evidence to present to the court that an offence was committed.Billy Balfour wrote:That's when a DD isn't excessively over the limit and they cooperate by providing a breath test or blood sample.

Re: Dean Saunders jailed for ten weeks
Please allow me to then; if you don’t get a breath test result or blood sample, how do you know if the driver is excessively over the limit? To cover this situation of non-compliance, there is an offence of ‘failing to provide’ a specimen which has a mandatory 12 month + ban. I said I thought it was rather harsh because I haven’t heard of anyone getting a custodial sentence for ‘failing to provide’ as well as a lengthy ban from driving.Billy Balfour wrote:I'm at a loss as to what you are getting at here, Benny.

He pleaded guilty yet is appealing he verdict. What a certain. The judge who sent him down for 10 weeks says he acted like he was above the law and you can see why. If he gets let off then it’ll prove him right to be like that.

Understand that he's not appealing the guilty verdict but the length of his sentence.
