The Court of Appeal held the magistrate erred in principle and imposed manifestly inadequate sentences by substituting community service for immediate custody in serious, prolonged, high‑speed road racing and dangerous driving involving passengers and coordinated conduct; the proper sentence for the racing and dangerous driving counts is immediate imprisonment and the offending justified a custodial term of 2 months (after adjustments on basis of guilty plea and review process) to be served concurrently; ancillary sentences were left undisturbed.
