I've just spent 8 weeks of a 16 week sentence in prison for driving whilst disqualified.
It was probably the longest 8 weeks of my life. It was a real prison, not a softly softly holiday camp.
I'm pretty much used to being away from home, I used to spend up to 6 weeks away in my lorry.
I think if people were sent down for say 8 weeks (they'll do 4) for a first offence of drink driving, Then the message would be much more hard hitting than a fine and a ban.
Disqualifications are a drain on the ecconomy, people can't work, they don't pay tax, they could lose their house. Should his family be made to suffer because of a single cockup?
