The original district court sentence was unduly lenient given the respondent's deliberate repeated drug-driving as a professional taxi driver and his relevant record; appropriate starting points close to the 3-year maximum were justified, reduced by one-third for guilty pleas, resulting in increased custodial terms totalling 30 months plus 14 days and an increased disqualification period of three years with a re-test requirement; consecutive disqualification periods should not be ordered but the overall period must adequately protect the public.
