The court held the original sentence was manifestly excessive in the circumstances of a first offender with no injuries and who had pleaded guilty; remanding the appellant in custody pending a community service report was inappropriate where custody was unlikely and deprived the appellant of appellate protection. The appropriate disposal was to set aside the community service order and impose a recognizance of good behaviour with a reduced driving disqualification and costs awarded to the appellant.
