The Court of Appeal issued a judgment ruling that the dangerous driver's appeal succeeded, with the disqualification order changed from 5 years to 3 years, noting that the original judge's sentencing was by no means excessive, but considering that the driver had been remanded in custody for about two years before sentencing, a 3-year disqualification already reflects the practical effect of the disqualification order.
