Commit a serious offence to try to dodge some trivial ones. What a plank.

Given the shortage of space in prisons, is it really appropriate to incercerate someone, who appears to be no threat to the public, just for being a dick?

I was thinking that too.

I can't help thinking, rightly or wrongly that if it were a white guy lying about something else other than getting away with speeding that the punishment would be nothing like as severe. Not three years in prison, probably not even 3 months or a jail term at all...

Don't think that mattered much, the fact that the word "motorist" was used would be enough to remove a murderer from prison to make space ...

The three terms are to run concurrently

Obviously, the guy who was the centrepiece of the article is a moron.

"Excess speed is at least partly to blame for one in three deaths on Lancashire's roads and speed limits are in place to protect us", said someone from the local SCP.

I saw that too, which made me think that this whole article is just the work of spin.

Wrongly.

He'll be out in three months I'd suggest. You're always going to serve time if you commit three life sentence crimes.

No.

...even if there was plenty space.

We need a whole new state, this one's broken.

Except for the one who lied by faking his own death.

Shafkat Munir was a gainfully employed net taxpayer before our money was wasted jailing him.

Road safety experts have condemned a driver who faked his own death to avoid paying £180 in speeding fines.
No he didn't, he did it to avoid 9 points.
