HI, i need to know if my sentace is lawful ( Dangerous driving with extended test)

[MarkIsLost]

HI, i know my first post is not the best sounding but i have reasons to ask

firstly i was a child when i was sentanced with this.
Also i ve asd but i have managed to overcome the thrill of driving underage started when i was 14 ( as im now in my 30s).

I had a dangerous driving with a extended test passed conviction in 2003 when i was 17. I am spent on my criminal past many years ago and have moved on with the lifestyle i used to live many years ago.

I was sentanced in a mag court with this and the extended test was attached, from what i have been reading the extended test part is ONLY able to be attached in a crown court NOT a mag court.

**************Is this factual information about mag court cannot attach this sentance and its a crown only sentance correct 2003 guidelines? *********************

If its correct can i approach the sentencing court with this as a basis for an appeal out of time?

Thank you for reading this it means a lot to me because i need to drive. Thank you

Hi and welcome
Why don't you just take the extended test?

In any case my understanding is that currently if a dangerous driving case is heard in a magistrates court the max penalty is fine up to £5000, up to 6 months in prison and a minimum period of a year of mandatory disqualification with a compulsory extended retest before you can drive again.
I think the mandatory disqualification and extended test have remained unchanged for years.

I read this info from the source listed here


"Quote"
Dangerous Driving Penalty

In the crown court, the maximum penalty for dangerous driving is 2 years imprisonment, an unlimited fine and a minimum obligatory driving ban of 1 year. Before a full driving licence can be re-instated, the defendant will have to take an extended driving test.

If the case is heard in the Magistrates Court, the maximum penalty for dangerous driving is 6 months imprisonment, a maximum fine of £5000 and a driving disqualification.


This is what is baffling me, I have requested a FOI also, i wondered if anybody here would know about this,

Thanks for your quick reply

Regards

Looks like your info is correct, but not what I read elsewhere! and whether or not worth appealing after all this time I just wouldn't know

Triable either way:

Maximum when tried summarily: Level 5 fine and/or 6 months

Maximum when tried on indictment: 2 years

• Must endorse and disqualify for at least 12 months. Must order extended re-test
  
  
• Must disqualify for at least 2 years if offender has had two or more disqualifications for periods of 56 days or more in preceding 3 years – refer to disqualification guidance and consult your legal adviser for further guidance
  
  

If there is a delay in sentencing after conviction, consider interim disqualification
