I always make the point that taxi drivers are more at risk from headbangers like this (as demonstrated by the 140mph driver in the recent thread, or, in a wider context, the seven fatalities in Cleveland).
But not when the taxi driver is retired and working in his garden

Judge Lord Braid jailed Garden for 13 and a half years, discounted from a headline sentence of 18 years.
He backdated the term to June 16 and disqualified Garden from driving for 56 years and nine months.

Good job he's disqualified until he's 112 years old
I mean, it's not as if he's never flouted a driving ban before
The Courier wrote:
The judge noted this record included 11 vehicle thefts, 150 other offences of dishonesty, 64 offences involving breach of bail, 10 occasions of driving while disqualified and six occasions of driving dangerously – including in a stolen car in Cumbria in 2003.

Judge Lord Braid wrote:
“You will never be entitled to hold a driving licence.”
Unless he lives until he's older than 112, presumably?
