A one‑third guilty‑plea discount for sentencing does not automatically apply to the statutory minimum period of driving disqualification; disqualification periods are forward‑looking, statutory in character and must meet the minimum unless special reasons exist. The 12‑month disqualification was not manifestly excessive and the appeal against sentence fails.
