Having just read another article about a scum bag terrorising a woman and two young kids in a "road rage" incident no mention was made of any motoring offences or any penalties or restrictions to his licence .
So whats the likely charges? , why no motoring convictions ?
I would have thought a very long driving ban would be the least to expect on top of any other convictions like assault , threatening behaviour etc .

My interest is not so much about the particular case but more about why the fact that the offences are committed on the road but if convicted they are still allowed back on the road .
Briefly he chased the woman for 20 minutes ,trying to force her to stop ,eventually attacking her car and threatening to kill her and the two children in the car .
All because he thought she used a phone while driving .
He was dealt with by an off duty policeman .
Later charged while in custody for other offences ,and when convicted had addition time added for over 2k worth of unpaid fines .

I think my point may not have been put very well .In most cases we only see the criminal charges but any motoring offences are never reported .
If they weren't driving in the first place the rest wouldn't have followed.
The few incidents I have been subjected to all started from very poor driving on the others part which lead to a reaction from them out of guilt ,non have lead to much else because when they spot my size they tend to just rev up and wheel spin away .
Those people commiting road rage are probably not suitable to be behind the wheel but even if prosecuted many still have their licence intact at the end .
