The Court refused the review because the judge correctly placed culpability within the least culpable dangerous driving band and selected a permissible starting point; the judge erred only in granting an extra 2 month discount for clear record (which was not warranted) and in granting 2 months for PTSD (reduced by this court to 1 month), but the combined errors did not make the sentence manifestly inadequate or such as to undermine public confidence and interference was not required given the offender's imminent release.
