In June 2023, the Sentencing Guidelines for Motoring Offences were revised and updated in England and Wales. Six of the existing guidelines were revised following the introduction of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. These are as follows:
The new and revised guidelines came into effect on 1st July 2023.
The reason for the revised and new guidelines within England and Wales was to provide further deterrents to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries caused by dangerous driving or other motoring offences on the road. It further allows for consistency within the court system when passing a sentence for the majority of motoring offences.
To achieve this, the sentencing council has increased the level of sentences within the guidelines, with provisions explaining the level of seriousness in relation to both harm and culpability.
There have been many changes, revisions, and updates, and below are just some examples of the updates within motoring offences concerning the list above.
The disqualification period has also increased from 2 years to 5 years with compulsory extended re-test for both offences.
