The phrase "unduly lenient" springs to mind.

Lets hope he never gets a licence again. I wonder if there is an appeals process for applicants to the Hackney Licence Authority by the public when someone applies for a licence?

Does this, plus the Audrey Fyfe verdict, suggest the courts are taking the view that an OAP is worth less than a younger person?
This driver will be back driving in 2.5 years - yet is incapable of seeing someone half way across a zebra crossing.
Maybe, when his ban is over, he'll get a job as a Lothian buses driver.
(See my story in the "bad driver" section last Saturday.)

Claims he will never drive a taxi again but no info on other vehicles.
