- High Court
The Judge's starting point for reckless driving (24 months) was within range given extreme speeding, evasion of police, serious injuries and property damage; although the domestic violence guilty plea discounts were not explicitly articulated the six‑month uplift for those offences was within range once discounts were allowed for; totality was sufficiently respected given the aggregate offending and cancellation of prior community work, therefore the 29‑month sentence and two‑year driving disqualification were not manifestly excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
