The Court allowed the appeal in part and suspended the two concurrent two‑month custodial sentences for 18 months because, although the appellant's post‑interchange driving was sufficiently dangerous to warrant short imprisonment, that conduct was principally panic‑driven and, given the appellant's mitigation and prior remand, the interests of the appellant and community were better served by suspending the sentences while maintaining the periods of driving disqualification and the fine.
