Suspended sentence and 60 hours community service.

That’ll learn him.

Not even a driving ban….

It does look like it was deliberate. That driver was incredibly lucky. I can't imagine the feeling seeing that thing veer towards you all of a sudden. No time to do anything.

Yet more piss-poor sentencing. You should never get behind the wheel again after that.

Really should have been a custodial sentence IMO.

Not that I know anything about sentencing guidelines, but surely some jail time should have been handed out given the circumstances. That's an absolutely brutal RTA for the Audi (Honda) driver.

Anyone noticing the car behind continuing to blindly follow the tractor along at the same following distance whilst it veers into oncoming traffic, mounts the car and rolls over with zero reaction?
