Driver escapes immediate custody after dangerous police chase

This motorcyclist, represented by barrister Millicent Dooher, was charged with dangerous driving following a police chase which involved driving the wrong way down a one-way street, jumping red traffic lights and mounting the pavement where pedestrians were. The rider was also uninsured and unlicenced. Millicent Dooher represented the motorcyclist at his sentencing hearing. The Court accepted the mitigation put forwards on behalf of the rider, and conceded that, although a custodial sentence was necessary, it did not have to be immediate. The motorcyclist was sentenced to 6 months custody, suspended for 24 months.
